Member Term Life and AD&D Insurance
Help Provide for Your Family's Future Financial Security.
Member Term Life and AD&D Insurance
Underwritten by New York Life Company
If you're like most physicians, you probably have some life insurance. But if you're relying on coverage through work or other coverage you may have on your own, you may not have enough protection to take care of your family. As an ACP member, you're eligible to apply for valuable coverage - designed for Physicians just like you!
Term coverage is the purest kind of life insurance, with no costly savings features.
Term Life Insurance is a type of term coverage in which the death benefit amount decreases as you age. This is typically because there is less need for higher coverage because, for example, children become more self-sufficient and/or your mortgage may be paid off. Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) is designed to provide additional coverage if you’re seriously injured or killed due to an accident. This policy combines these two valuable types of insurance coverage in one policy. However, you also have the choice to only purchase Term Life coverage.

Certificate Of Insurance
This information is only a brief description of the principal provisions and features of the Policy. The complete terms and conditions are set forth in the group policy issued by New York Life Insurance Company to Trustees of American College of Physicians, Inc. Insurance Trust. When you become insured, you will be sent a Certificate of Insurance summarizing your benefits under the Policy.
Eligibility
All ACP Members (including Associates, Medical Students, Physician Affiliates, Non-Physician Affiliates, Fellows and Masters) under age 75, may request coverage for themselves, their lawful spouse under age 75 and all unmarried dependent children ages 15 days through 25 years as a convenient “add-on” to any coverage you may have through work or on your own. A dependent who is also a member is only eligible for member coverage. If both the member and spouse are covered as members, only one may insure any eligible children. To become insured, individuals must provide satisfactory evidence of insurability and pay the required premium.
This coverage is available only for residents of the United States (except territories) and Puerto Rico.
Non-Dependent Family Members: Any eligible nondependent family members may also apply for coverage as long as they join ACP as an Associate Member. For membership information, please call ACP directly at 1-800-523-1546.
The ACP Term Life & AD&D Insurance Plan has features that may make this Group Term Life coverage stand out from other programs:
Group Rates:
The ACP Term Life Plan specifically targets the expanded coverage needs to ACP members. And that targeted audience was the key to your exclusively priced rates. The end result is a significant break for you: Negotiated rates…on solid protection…extended to the ACP eligible members.
Amounts Of Life Insurance:
ACP protection is also available when you enroll your lawful spouse under age 75 and your dependent children, ages 15 days-25.
Members: $10,000 up to $1,000,000 in $10,000 multiples.
Spouse: $10,000 up to $500,000 in $10,000 multiples, not to exceed 50% of member’s coverage.
Child(ren): $5,000, for Children older than 6 months; $500 for children 15 days and older. (No coverage for children under 15 days)
Select the AD&D Insurance option if you want to double your life benefit amount. This provides an added safety net should you be seriously injured or killed in a covered accident. (See below for more details.)
The total amount of coverage an individual may have under all group life insurance policies underwritten by New York Life Insurance Company may not exceed $2,000,000. In addition, the total amount of coverage an individual may have under all policies issued by New York Life Insurance Company to the Trustees of the American College of Physicians, Inc. Insurance Trust may not exceed the maximum benefit option for any insured person.
Double Your Coverage with the AD&D Option
If requesting the Member Term Life Insurance, you can also request an equal amount of Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance (AD&D) for yourself. This option allows you to double your selected life benefit amount and provides an added safety net should you be seriously injured or killed in a covered accident. If your death is due to a covered accidental injury, the insurance will pay your life benefit amount plus your AD&D benefit, which doubles your life benefit amount. It can also pay a percentage of your amount if you are seriously injured and suffer a significant loss, as described below.
Covered Loss | Percentage of Principal |
Loss of life | 100% |
Loss of two limbs | 100% |
Loss of sight of both eyes | 100% |
Loss of one limb and sight of one eye | 100% |
Loss of one limb | 50% |
Loss of sight of one eye | 50% |
The injury must be directly and independently caused by an accident while coverage is in force, and must result in a Covered Loss within 365 days.
Only one principal sum (the largest applicable) is payable for a loss to the same limb due to or related to any one accident. Loss of sight means total and permanent loss thereof. Loss of limb means severance through or above the wrist or ankle joint.
Additional Seatbelt and Airbag Benefit
Under the AD&D option, your loved ones can collect an additional benefit amount up to $25,000 or 10% of your principal sum (whichever is less) if you suffer a covered loss of life as a result of injury sustained while riding in or operating an automobile and were found to be properly wearing a seatbelt.
An additional 5% will be paid if the automobile is equipped with an airbag. However, the total amount paid under the combined seatbelt and airbag benefit cannot exceed $25,000.
Valuable Living Benefit Provision “Accelerated Death Benefit”
The Accelerated Death Benefit option is available to help terminally ill insureds during a difficult and often financially challenging time. Under this provision, you may request one advance payment equal to 50% of your (or an insured dependent’s) in force life insurance to be paid while the terminally ill person is still alive. The request must be made at least 12 months prior to the insured person’s scheduled coverage termination age and the amount of insurance payable after the insured’s death will be reduced by this payment. (Premium contributions will not be reduced.)
This money can be used to help cover high prescription drug costs, medical bills, outstanding debts, to help pay for experimental treatments, the cost of modifications to your home, or for a family vacation – the choice is yours.
To qualify, a terminally ill insured must provide New York Life Insurance Company with proof of terminal illness and anticipated life expectancy (12 months or less), as well as any other necessary medical information requested. For additional details and limitations, please see the Certificate of Insurance.
Please note that receipt of Accelerated Death Benefits may affect your eligibility for public assistance programs and may be taxable. Prior to applying to receive such benefits, you should consult with the appropriate social services agency and seek the advice of a qualified tax advisor.
Save with Volume Discounts on Higher Amounts of Insurance
If you or your spouse becomes insured for coverage amounts of $250,000 through $499,999, you’ll receive a volume discount. For amounts $500,000 through $999,000 of coverage, you’ll receive an even bigger discount; and a larger discount still for amounts of $1 million to $2 million.
