As an eligible physician, you and your eligible spouse or domestic partner can each apply for the amount of coverage that is most appropriate for the financial needs of you and your family – from $25,000 up to $3,000,000.
Once insured, your benefit stays the same to age 70, regardless of changes in your health. Your benefit amount reduces by 50% on the premium due date following your 70th birthday. Premium rates are then based on the reduced benefit amount.
For the first five years your rate is based on your age at issue. Rates may only increase during that time if they are raised for the entire group based on claims experience. After the initial five-year period, your rate is guaranteed to be based on your attained age at each subsequent five-year interval and will not increase due to age during each five-year period unless rates for the entire group increase. This is a unique feature of the AMA-sponsored Preferred Term Life Plan designed to give you the most attractive rate possible.
Should you be diagnosed as having less than 24 months to live, the coverage may advance you up to 60% (up to $500,000 maximum) of your basic life insurance amount. You can use the money to pay medical bills, outstanding debts, or for anything you choose.Your premium payments will be waived for up to 12 months following payment of this benefit. Future premiums will not otherwise be affected by payment of the benefit and will be required to be paid. Your benefit advance is payable only once and will be deducted from your total life insurance coverage. Note: Accelerated Benefits may be taxable. Please be sure to consult your tax advisor.
