Short-term disability insurance pays a percentage of an employee’s salary if he or she becomes temporarily disabled and unable to work for a short period of time. The most common causes of short-term disability claims include:

• Injuries
• Digestive/Intestinal Diseases
• Reproductive/Urinary System Diseases
• Pregnancy (normal or with complications)

According to the American Council of Life Insurers, almost one-third of Americans will suffer a serious disability between the ages of 35 and 65. Chronic illnesses or injuries may render people unable to work for a period of weeks or even months. If you don’t have enough in savings or any other income to rely on during an unpaid absence from work, short-term disability coverage is a wise choice.

Trust MedCost to provide outstanding professional service at a time when both employers and employees count on us most.
