#131 Physicians' Guide to Disability Insurance with Lawrence B. Keller, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®, RHU®, LUTCF

Author: Nate Reineke September 3, 2025 Duration: 38:18

Disability insurance may feel like just another thing physicians have to figure out. Like a retirement account, your employer may offer a plan, but that is almost never enough to cover your bases. Nate Reineke and Ben Utley are joined by Lawrence B. Keller, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®, RHU®, LUTCF (or Larry to us). From his New York office, he’s been working with doctors for more than 30 years. We break down when an individual, private policy is necessary, and when in your career you can consider dropping your policy. Be sure to listen to the end, where Larry explains the most common mistake he sees physicians make and how shopping for an agent, rather than a policy, can help you save on your premiums. If you’d like to work with Larry, you can reach him at lkeller@physicianfinancialservices.com or by phone at 516-677-6211. Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into all the money you need for college and retirement? It’s time to make a plan and get on track.

Finding a clear path through financial planning feels uniquely challenging when your career is in medicine and your heart is at home with family. The Physician Family Finances Podcast exists in that specific, demanding space. Host Nate Reineke, alongside co-host Chelsea Jones, brings their experience as Certified Financial Planner™ professionals directly to conversations with physician parents. They understand the dual pressures of managing a practice, caring for kids, and making smart long-term decisions with your earnings. Each episode moves beyond generic advice to tackle the real questions you face, from navigating student loan strategies and investment options tailored to a physician's timeline to planning for retirement without sacrificing your family's present. This isn't about quick tips; it's about building a sustainable framework that aligns with your values and goals. Tune in for a candid, practical discussion that makes complex topics like tax laws and wealth building accessible, so you can gain confidence and clarity with your finances. The entire podcast is built on the principle that securing your future should feel like an achievable part of your life's work, not an overwhelming distraction from it.
