Most professionals find they need more substantial life insurance coverage than a standard employer-sponsored plan provides. To bridge that gap, our new association-based term life program offers affordable, high-limit death protection backed by an A+ (Superior) rated carrier. For our members with young or growing families, we are especially proud to offer a 30-year level term policy—a unique advantage that is incredibly rare for association programs. Best of all, we’ve made the application process incredibly simple: if you already utilize our member disability insurance program, you can streamline your underwriting and use the exact same medical exam and bloodwork for your life insurance application.
