If you are a doctor or a dentist, and you have or are setting up your own practice, you will need disability insurance.  This is basically something that protects you by paying you a percentage of your income every month if something should happen to you to prevent you from working — such as falling ill or getting in an accident.

Luckily, it is easier than ever to get disability insurance quotes.  All you really have to do is go online.  There are websites on the Internet that offer the one-stop shop approach to getting quotes from multiple insurance providers, or you can go directly to the insurance companies’ websites.

I don’t know how people would have found disability insurance for physician before the Internet.  I guess they could have looked disability insurance companies up in the phone book, which works okay.  Employers might have also offered disability insurance or provided information on it, though of course that wouldn’t help doctors.  Professional associations such as doctor’s associations were — and probably still are — another good resource for doctors wanting disability insurance.

All of these alternate ways worked just fine back then, but none of them compare to how easy a Google search is now!
