Group Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance

If you are an ACP member, Physician Affiliate or Non-Physician Affiliate under age 70 and a resident of the U.S. (except VT and WA) or Puerto Rico, you may apply for the Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance.

You and your dependents will become insured on the date specified by New York Life Insurance Company provided the initial premium contribution is paid when due, and you and your dependents are performing the normal activities of a person in good health of like age (NC Residents: a person of like age) on that date. Dependent insurance will not take effect unless your insurance is in effect on a premium paying basis, and any person who is not performing his or her normal activities as required will not become insured until the date he or she is performing such activities, provided such date is within three months of the date insurance would have been effective and the person is still eligible. (Payment of a premium contribution for insurance does not mean there is any coverage in force before the effective date as specified by New York Life Insurance Company.)
