After the fallout in the disability insurance market, Standard Insurance Company emerged as just one of six carriers that continue to offer disability insurance products specifically designed for the medical and dental communities. The new Standard disability insurance policy – Protector Platinum -provides a comprehensive set of disability insurance benefits including:
- An Own Occupation definition of disability that applies to all occupation classes
and specialties. - A Compassionate Care Benefit that pays a monthly benefit if an insured suffers a loss of income of 20 percent or more while taking care of a loved one with a serious health condition.
- An automatic increase of 4 percent in the monthly benefit for insureds under the age of 60
- A Total Disability Presumption for the loss of sight, speech, hearing or the use of two limbs due to an injury or illness.A Residual Disability Benefit that will pay 100 percent of the monthly benefit for the first six months.
- Recovery Benefit that will pay monthly benefits if the insured continues to experience a loss of income after returning to work.
- No limitation on benefits payable as a result of a disability caused by mental disorders or substance abuse.
- A Survivor Benefit payable for three months beyond the date of the insured’s death if it occurs during a period of disability or recovery.
