So I'm in the process of purchasing own-occupation disability insurance as a PGY1 and the rates I'm being quoted seem quite high as compared to what I've seen on whitecoatinvestors website and other threads on here.
Right now, as a healthy 28yo male PGY1 I'm being quoted $187/mth for $5,000/mth in coverage from Guardian with a $12k FPO, 3% COLA, 15% residual benefit.
Ameritas, principal, massmutual, etc are quoting roughly the same +/- $20/mth. Ameritas I can get at $165/mth, but the COLA is indexed to the CPI.
This comes out to 3.7% premium to benefit ratio which seems quite high, is this the market norm these days?
