Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible?
Residents and fellows at institutions where Guardian offers a GSI program. If you're unsure whether Guardian is offering a GSI disability insurance option at your school, check your eligibility status above.

Why do you need to know my institution?
Guardian's GSI disability insurance availability varies by institution. We ask for your training location solely to determine which Guardian options may be available to you. The institutions themselves do not offer, administer, or endorse this insurance—Guardian does. We use institutional names only to identify location-specific program availability.

Any medical exam required?
No. This is Guardian's Guaranteed Standard Issue program—no health questions or exams necessary.

What is the policy type?
Guardian's Provider Choice policy offers an enhanced own-occupation definition for physicians.

What happens after submission?
Your quote appears instantly, and we follow up personally—no pressure, no cost.

Can I apply with another insurance company first?
No—if you apply for medically underwritten disability coverage with another carrier before using Guardian's GSI option, you will be permanently ineligible for GSI. Always secure your Guardian GSI policy first if you're eligible.

How much does this cost, and are discounts included?
Guardian offers GSI discounts of up to 30%, and many physicians in training see premiums starting between $50 and $75 per month. These discounts are locked in for the life of the policy—even after graduation.
