Welcome to Finity Group, your GME endorsed provider of disability income protection for Emory University Internal Medicine House Officers, Residents, and Fellows. Doctors and other medical professionals face unique financial challenges that traditional financial planners may not be familiar with. At Finity Group, we specialize in financial planning for doctors, dentists and other medical professionals.
You have invested a lot of time and resources in preparing for a successful career practicing medicine. Now that you are close to graduating, it is very important to adequately protect your future income. Our Guaranteed Standard Issue (GSI) program can help.
Medical underwriting is required to obtain nearly all individual disability insurance coverage. Insurance companies can go back 5-10 years on minor health issues and can even request medical records for medical issues going back an entire lifetime to help determine if an application can be approved or if rated premiums or exclusions are necessary. Applying for coverage under a GSI program helps minimize medical underwriting requirements.
Amount of coverage is based on your level of training | |
|---|---|
| Final year residents & fellows within 6 months from graduation |

| Final year residents & fellows outside 6 months from graduation |
|
| Residents and Fellows not in their final year |
