Petersen International Underwriters
Petersen International Underwriters has announced a disability insurance plan available to active duty military doctors, including those who are deployed in war zones.
Doctors, dentists and other professionals whose current income is underinsured and whose future income is not even considered now have the ability to adequately protect their families. The government protects only the base pay of these professional officers; it does not protect any additional compensation, bonus income, housing allowances or future income these doctors stand to make once they transition from the military to private practice.
Monthly disability benefits can insure up to two thirds of the income of these professionals with this new plan and, in addition, a lump sum benefit can be obtained which will indemnify loss of future earnings with a benefit amount as much as ten times annual income.
