Why do shady brokers take advantage of so many innocent physicians? The biggest reason is that most people want cheaper rates, even though the top four companies offer safe, worthwhile coverage. Physicians think they're doing the right thing but set themselves up for misfortune instead. They can lose thousands of dollars every year and face hours of stress and endless troubles when a disability case comes up. In this episode, you'll see the common pitfalls that price shoppers face and discover how to prevent shady brokers from taking advantage of you—so you get the coverage you deserve.

• Make sure you have these “Vital Cost” features in your coverage when buying (Warning: not knowing these allows your broker to take advantage of you). (3:28)
• Three “Life Saving” features without which your coverage is useless (Note: Missing one of these means you’ll be left high & and dry during a disability). (4:25)
