Disability Insurance and the Doctor:
Will You Be Able to Collect?
Attorney Ed Comitz’s article,“Disability Insurance and the Doctor: Will You Be Able to Collect?”, was published in the May/June 2003 issue of AzMed, the publication of the Arizona Medical Association.
The article focuses on own-occupation policies marketed to physicians, the disability insurance claim process, key policy definitions, the hurdles experienced by disabled physicians (including mental health limitations/exclusions), reasons claims are denied, Arizona insurance law (including elements of bad faith and punitive damages for wrongful claim denials).
