This is accident protection coverage that recognizes the financial concerns your family will have if you die or lose use of a limb as the result of a covered accident. As such, it pays the full benefit for the loss of life, any two limbs or sight in both eyes or any combination of limbs and eyes, or loss of speech and hearing; 50% of the full benefit is payable for the loss of a single limb or eye, or loss of speech or hearing.
This coverage can pay the full benefit amount you select – up to $1,000,000 – if a covered accident results in the permanent loss of the use of any two limbs.
You can choose the coverage that is right for you: $500,000, $750,000 or $1,000,000. Other coverages are available. Please contact us for additional details. Coverage for your eligible dependents is a percentage of the benefit amount you select.
NOTE: A member’s or spouse’s accidental death and dismemberment full benefit amount will be reduced by 75% on the date the member or spouse attains age 70.
The benefit amount you select is the maximum benefit (excluding any applicable extra protection benefits) payable for losses resulting from any one covered accident.
Benefits are payable for losses that occur within 365 days after a covered accident; due to exposure to the elements and for an insured’s disappearance following a covered accident. This insurance can pay up to the full benefit you select from an accident that occurs while you perform professional services as part of your regular job obligations in a helicopter or other aircraft utilized as an air ambulance.
