We are most widely known for our disability insurance programs for students and veterinarians.

Students

Total Planning Veterinary Services is here for you! During vet school, feel free to contact us with any financial questions that you have. As you start to close in on graduation, it is time to prepare you for the transition from student to doctor. There are certain steps one must take to ensure this important process is handled seamlessly. We will guide you and advise you through this process to make sure you are on the path to success.

Disability insurance for soon to be veterinarians is one of the most important steps to take at graduation.

It does not matter whether you are going to an internship, private practice, or corporate practice. Be sure to take advantage of our special disability insurance program! In terms of disability insurance for soon to be veterinarians, and disability insurance for recently graduated veterinarians, this plan offers benefits not available through other agents/companies/brokers.

Other important steps we can assist you with prior to graduation are negotiating benefits into your contract and determining which student loan repayment plan you should apply for.

Feel free to schedule an appointment or contact us at any time for details regarding our special disability program. We do not charge any planning or consultation fees.

Veterinarians

Disability insurance for practicing veterinarians is a must.

As a veterinarian, you are highly educated and specially trained- your disability insurance policy should reflect this. We recommend an individual disability insurance plan that covers you specifically as a veterinarian and protects you 24/7/365 on and off the job. In addition, your plan should come with guarantees in terms of pricing, benefits, and coverage. While there are many disability insurance options available in the market, veterinarians should have a policy that is comprehensive and offers these guarantees. Many policies that are heavily marketed to veterinarians lack these important guarantees. As a provider of disability insurance for veterinarians, we help our clients obtain policies that include these important benefits and features. In addition to providing disability insurance for practicing veterinarians, we also provide our clients with life insurance and disability overhead expense insurance. If you own a practice, are buying a practice, or are starting a practice, you may need these other two types of insurance policies. We have helped hundreds of clients start or buy into a practice.
