You Work to Protect Your Patients… We Work to Protect You

As an optometrist, you probably know better than almost anyone else how quickly a disability can strike and not only delay your dreams, but also leave you unable to provide for your family. Whether it is a heart attack, stroke, car accident or fall off a ladder, any of these things can affect your ability to earn a living at your profession.

That’s why the California Optometric Association sponsors a Group Long-Term Disability program underwritten by New York Life Insurance Company that includes:

• Benefits that aren’t tied to a practice, giving you more flexibility with potential career changes,
• Benefit payments that are 100% TAX-FREE — when you pay premiums yourself,
• High monthly benefits up to $10,000,
• Protection in your specialty as an optometrist for the first 10 years of disability.

With this critical protection, you’ll have one less thing to worry about until your return.
