easy · Certified Financial Planner Risk Management

Dr. Okada, a 44-year-old orthopedic surgeon with an annual income of $650,000, is evaluating disability insurance options. She is concerned that a hand injury might prevent her from performing surgery, even if she remains capable of working in a general clinical or teaching capacity. A local agent suggests a policy with an any-occupation definition because it is significantly less expensive.

What should the planner recommend to Dr. Okada?

  1. Purchase a policy with an own-occupation definition of disability.
  2. Self-insure the risk using her $24,500 annual elective deferrals.
  3. Accept the any-occupation policy to minimize fixed overhead costs.
  4. Delay the purchase until she can reach the 72,000 Section 415(c) limit.
