New Disability Plan for Entertainers

For more than 35 years, Petersen International Underwriters of Valencia, California, has been in the business of writing high-limit disability insurance for the men and women of the film, television and music industries.

The company is pleased to announce the return of the StarCover disability plan to the American insurance marketplace. The product has had a complete makeover, modernized and refurbished for today’s showbiz clientele. The focus of StarCover is fiduciary security and income protection of the Hollywood elite — the talent in front of the camera and behind the microphone.

The new plan touts a true “own occupation” definition of disability, as well as robust, high-limit monthly and lump sum benefit schedules

According to Jimmy Petersen, marketing director of Petersen International, “What explicitly sets the new StarCover program apart from the rest of the market is its uniquely designed ‘disfigurement rider,’ which provides primary benefits to a client who has become irreparably maimed or scarred due to an accident or sickness, but is still physically able to work and isn’t considered disabled under traditional industry definitions. We strongly believe this new product is the next generation of disability income protection for the entertainment industry.”
