  • Disability Insurance: What It Actually Covers And Where It Fails - Ben Glass: Ep# 576
    Feb 20 2026

    Dentists assume they're protected—until they actually need to file a claim.

    Today, I sit down with disability attorney Ben Glass to unpack hidden traps inside professional disability policies. Misleading definitions, claims denied and progressive conditions vs catastrophic injuries prove preparation before filing is essential.

    If you're a dentist or healthcare professional who depends on your hands, vision, and stamina to earn a living, this episode is a critical reminder: Bulletproofing your income requires more than paying premiums—it requires understanding what you actually bought.
