Listen "Physician's Edition: What is a Catastrophic Rider aka CAT Coverage?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Scott and I discuss the Catastrophic Rider that can be added to an Own Occupation Disability Insurance plan.Catastrophic events occur if you are on a disability insurance claim but also have 2 of 6 activities of daily living that you cannot perform. This then triggers the additional insurance benefit on top of the base benefit.This is the high-level definition and each insurance carrier has specific contract provisions, specific to that carrier and not every state offers this rider. Although the CAT provisions can be a little different between each carrier but overall; the ADLs are what trigger the additional coverage.This one feature isn't as expensive as COLA and we have a mix of clients that purchase it. Often, with the ADL loss; many can get better before their elimination period is up so some question the value. It is certainly a personal choice and I have one of these on my disability insurance contract.Please tune in as this episode should help you to determine if you want a CAT rider or would like to remove one off of your contract.Thanks for listening!📻 Thank you for tuning in to Pathways! 🔗 Connect with Amber on Social Media: AMBER’S INSTAGRAM AMBER’S LINKEDIN AMBER’S FACEBOOK 📲 Be sure to visit Amber's website: www.AmberStitt.com 🎬 And remember, let's take action today!!! ===================== 💻 Content Creators, Here Are Some Must Have Apps: 🔥 Opus Clips AI Creates Short Videos From Your Full Length Videos: https://www.opus.pro?via=909178 🔥 Find Hosts & Guests for Your Podcast: https://www.joinpodmatch.com/pathways 🔥 For Blogs, Descriptions, or Any Type of AI Generated Text Needed for Your Project: https://www.castmagic.io/?via=amber
