Disability Insurance and Emergency Travel Assistance
Disability Insurance is provided through UNUM Life Insurance Company of America and enrollment is automatic for all housestaff members. The benefit provides 70% income replacement up to $8,000 per month. Income replacement continues as long as you cannot perform the material duties of your own occupation (your medical specialty) to age 65. The disability benefit is entirely employer paid. Benefits begin on the date full-time active employment begins and coverage ends on the date full-time active employment ends. There is an elimination period of 90 days and an exclusion period of 5 days for pre-existing conditions. There are limited conversion rights so long as application is made within 31 days of termination.

All Housestaff who have UNUM Long Term Disability are also covered in the UNUM sponsored Emergency Travel Assistance Plan at no additional charge. Please see this flyer describing this program.
