Principal Disability Insurance

Principal Disability Insurance

Principal Disability Insurance

As one of just five carriers that offers a “true” own occupation policy, A+ rated* Principle disability insurance is typically found on the short-list of disability insurance specialists seeking the best value in physician-specific disability insurance plans for their clients. This is especially true for female physicians who can benefit from Principal’s unisex rates with an additional 20 percent discount for a multi-life of three or more.

Principal Disability Insurance Features

  •  Non-Cancellable and Guaranteed Renewable to age 65 after which it is conditionally renewable for life as long as you are working
  • No Cost Benefit Update rider** which automatically adjusts your monthly benefit amount in the first six years based on the CPI with a four percent minimum increase (maximum 10 percent)
  • No Cost Future Benefit Increase rider which allows you to increase your maximum benefit every three years based on increases in your income
  • Residual Disability Benefit that pays a minimum of 50 percent of your pre-disability income for the first six months and then proportionate income replacement thereafter

The Choice of Solo Practitioners

The Principal Financial Group has long been established as leading provider of financial products and services to small businesses which is reflected in their line of business-related disability insurance plans.

Overhead Expense Insurance

For practitioners whose services are essential to the continuation of the practice.  Pays essential business expenses for two years during a period of disability. The Business Loan Protection rider will ensure that qualifying loan payments continue while you are disabled.

Disability Buy-Out (DBO) Insurance

Protects your practice in the event of a permanent disability by funding a buy-sell agreement. Makes funding available to buy out the disabled partner at a pre-determined price.

Key Person Replacement Insurance

Protects your practice in the event a key person becomes disabled by providing funds that can be used to recruit, hire and train a replacement. Can also be used to offset the cost of temporary staffing and filling in any revenue gaps that may occur.
