The coverage many professionals are missing
You insure your home because the lender requires it and your car because the law does. No one requires you to protect your income, yet for many professionals it is the largest asset they have.
Many professionals assume their employer’s group plan has them covered. Group long-term disability can be a useful base, but it often caps the monthly benefit, may switch to a stricter definition of disability after a set period, and usually ends when you leave the job. Benefits from employer-paid coverage are also generally taxable. An individual policy is yours: it goes with you if you change employers, and its definitions and benefits are set when you buy it.
