Practice-Paid and Voluntary Short-Term Disability

Short-Term Disability (STD) is a benefit that can help supplement your income because it pays you a benefit if you are temporarily unable to work for reasons like:

  • Pregnancy issues and childbirth recovery
  • Prolonged illness or injury
  • Surgery and recovery time

Please note: STD is practice-paid for Hourly, Salaried, Directors, and Managers. It is a voluntary benefit for Physicians, Officers, and Executives.
