This group plan allows you to select the amount of term life insurance coverage that best fits the financial needs of your family. As an eligible physician, you and your eligible spouse or domestic partner can each apply for coverage from $100,000 up to $4,000,000.
Because this is level term coverage, the benefit amount you secure remains level for the selected term of 10, 15, or 20 years.
You select the level period that makes sense for you and your family’s personal protection needs – 10 years, 15 years or 20 years. The rate you are approved for is the rate you keep for the entire level period. There are no annual rate increases during your chosen level period, guaranteed.
This plan’s rates are based on various factors including your lifestyle, health history, and the company’s underwriting guidelines. Four (4) rate classes are offered:
Note: In Montana, females pay male rates.
You can receive up to 75% of your basic benefit amount – up to a $1,000,000 maximum – to use any way you wish if you are diagnosed by your attending physician as having no longer than 24 months to live. In addition, your premium payments will be waived during the 12-month period following payment of this benefit. This added feature is provided at no additional cost to you. ‘Living Benefit’ payments are deducted from your total death benefit. Please note: “Living Benefits” may be taxable. Please consult with your personal tax advisor for details.
If you become totally disabled after the effective date of coverage, before age 60, and the disability lasts for at least six consecutive months, your premium payments will be waived up to age 65. To take advantage of this option, you must apply and be approved for coverage before age 56. Coverage for this option terminates at age 60.
This optional coverage provides additional insurance protection equal to your basic life insurance benefit (up to a $1,000,000 maximum) if death is caused by a covered accident. In addition, benefits are payable for loss of limbs or loss of use of limbs, or loss of sight due to a covered accident. Coverage for this option terminates at age 75.
For an additional $60 a year, you or your spouse (but not both) can cover each of your eligible dependent children with $25,000 of life insurance protection and $25,000 Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance. Eligible children include all dependent children through age 26. Dependent child coverage is subject to state variations.
