Included Term Life Product Features
| Accelerated Death Benefit: | Included at no extra cost. The Accelerated Death Benefit (ADB) payment is payable in the event of a qualifying terminal illness. The ADB is based on a portion of the policy's death benefit, subject to a maximum benefit amount. The ADB is treated as a lien, which accrues interest. Upon the death of the Insured, the death benefits payable are reduced by the total ADB lien.
Available in all states except CT. |
| Conversion Option: | Included at no extra cost. The policy is convertible to a qualified permanent policy for the duration of the guaranteed level premium period or up to the Insured's attained age 70, whichever comes first. Policies issued at age 66 or over are convertible during the first five policy years. |
| MediGuide Medical Second Opinion: | Included at no extra cost. The MediGuide Medical Second Opinion Program provides services should the Insured be diagnosed with a qualifying life threatening condition or disease. MediGuide America will collect and assemble all medical records and obtain a medical second opinion and recommend three facilities, at no cost to the Insured.
