Set For Life has been great to me in getting my specialty specific disability insurance plan set up as well as helping it function to my benefit.  I was involved in a major car accident last year which almost took my life as well as almost ruined my career as an orthopaedic surgeon.  Thank you, Set For Life, for all you have done.

Set for Life Insurance has discounts available for physicians, medical residents, medical students, dental students, fellows and employees of Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital in Texas.

When shopping for disability insurance, it is important to look at all of your options available.  In addition for looking for the right coverage for your needs, it is important to see if you have discounts available to you. This can save you a significant amount of premium over the course of your career.

Rates are based on several factors including age, gender and occupational class . Female rates tend to be approximately 40% more expensive than male rates. Therefore, if women are able to obtain unisex discounts, they will save significantly. Men will also receive a discount, but the change won’t be as dramatic as their rates start out at a lower premium than their women counterparts.

Discounts range from 15-15% depending on your age, gender and medical specialty. The discounts are permanent and apply to all future increases. To obtain the discount, you must apply for a policy while employed at the discounted employer.
