di-for-chiropractorsChiropractors are typically good buyers in disability insurance but it can be difficult to find a carrier who will offer them quality coverage due to a high claims history for the profession.  Many carriers have stopped writing coverage on chiropractors altogether.  Not to worry!  DIS still has you covered!  We have multiple options for individual DI coverage (even for newly self-employed chiropractors!) as well as business products and even special risk DI.

Business Product Options:

We have business overhead options of up to $8000/mo with a traditional carrier for chiropractors.  Benefit period options include 12, 18, and 24 months.  If the client also applies for individual DI, a multi-policy discount would apply. 

Special Circumstances:

For those chiropractors who are in need of higher limits, beyond what traditional carriers can offer, we have options for individual DI and Business Overhead as well as other business products such as key person.  This special risk carrier is also willing to offer starting practice limits to new chiropractors of $3000/mo.  For chiropractors with significant health issues, special risk policies with graded benefits are also available.
