We are proud to share that our very own Ben Glass was recently a guest on episode #427 of the White Coat Investor Podcast, titled “Dealing with a Disability Claim with Attorney Ben Glass.” (click to listen or watch the episode now!) In this in-depth discussion, Ben brings decades of experience handling long-term disability insurance claims—especially for high-income professionals such as physicians—to the table, offering practical insights, hard lessons, and strategic guidance. White Coat Investor is a valuable online resource for physicians and their financial success.
If you’re a doctor wondering whether your disability insurance is really up to the challenge—or you’re already facing a potential claim—this episode is a must-listen.
What you’ll learn in the episode:
- What makes a strong disability claim: how to clearly define your occupation, present objective medical evidence, and show what you can’t do (not just what you’ve been diagnosed with).
- Common mistakes doctors make: waiting too long to initiate a claim, relying on unpaid treatment by physician friends (which may leave no medical-record trail), or assuming the group policy’s definition is adequate.
- How Ben works with physicians before a claim ever begins: planning, policy review, and documentation strategy—so you’re prepared rather than reactive.
- What happens when a claim is denied: why having an experienced attorney early can make a difference, how appeals work (especially under ERISA for group plans), and what fee structures may look like.
Why Ben’s perspective matters:
At BenGlassLaw, we work closely with physicians, executives and other high‐earning professionals whose careers—and livelihoods—are intricately connected to their physical and cognitive abilities and their specialized roles. Ben has spent decades helping clients navigate the complex terrain of long-term disability claims, particularly for professionals whose “own occupation” means something very specific. His appearance on the White Coat Investor Podcast underscores our commitment to this field and demonstrates the depth of his expertise.
