Securing Long-term Disability Insurance

Workers who want to purchase LTDI coverage may have options.

1

Employers

often provide access to coverage. The premiums may be paid by the employer, or they may be paid by the employee on a voluntary basis. Employees can benefit from group rates and streamlined underwriting. For groups of three or more, a multi-life disability insurance discount may be available, and for groups of five or more, guaranteed standard issue disability insurance plans are available.

2

Individuals

can also buy disability insurance on their own. Often called individual disability insurance, or IDI, these plans are fully portable. This means that workers don’t have to worry about losing coverage when they switch jobs or go into business for themselves. There are also more coverage options, allowing policyholders to customize their benefit periods, elimination periods, benefit limits, definitions of disability and additional coverage options.

Just like you don’t need to decide between long-term and short-term coverage, you don’t need to decide between
employer-based LTDI and IDI. You can purchase both types of coverage to make sure you’re well protected.

How Can DIS Double Your Success Rate?

The disability insurance industry has a quote placement rate of just 10%. This means that for every 10 quotes, only one actually becomes a policy.

DIS can help you do better.

Many objections to disability insurance boil down to a mismatch in the quote that’s provided and the client’s needs. For example, some quotes are bloated with unnecessary riders that increase the premium cost. Others don’t have the terms needed to provide solid protection. DIS can help you offer irresistible quotes that balance cost concerns with coverage needs – even for workers who have pre-existing medical conditions, own their own business, or have other circumstances that make coverage more challenging.

The DIS quote placement rate is 25%. One out of every four quotes is successfully placed –  more than double the success rate of the industry. This high success rate translates into more coverage for your clients and more commissions for your producers.
