Individuals with Parkinson's disease can expect to pay over $190,000 in out of pocket expenses over their lifetime. Much of this cost is for treatments as well as mobility aids, home modifications and travel. Parkinson's disease affects the person's capacity to work. Many people spend more days absent from work and retire early.
Parkinson's Disease is a progressive condition that typically prevents return to work. TPD coverage of 5-10x annual income helps maintain financial security.
