Long Term Care Insurance
Make Sure Your Long Term Care Insurance Fits Your Growing Needs
Long term care insurance is an important part of a good financial plan because long term care needs can be extremely expensive and may occur at any age. New tax laws and tax-qualified plans help make long term care insurance more attractive and affordable.
 
Benefits
The high cost of long-term care is a serious threat to the financial security of millions of Americans. Long-term care is the type of care you would require if you needed help with basic activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing or eating. The average annual cost of a nursing home stay today can be between $40,000 in some regions to $80,000 and more in other regions.
 
As one step in addressing these concerns, we have arranged for the availability of individual long-term care insurance at a special premium discount through several insurance carriers. The benefits to you include:
  • Comprehensive - Facility, Home and Community Based Care Available to association members, their spouses, parents, grandparents, children and grandchildren.
  • Premium discounts
  • Non-tobacco user discount
  • Qualified for Tax Deduction (in some cases)
  • Hagan Benefits consultant to help you determine the appropriate program
Guaranteed Renewable
Long Term Care Insurance policies are guaranteed renewable, meaning that the companies cannot increase premiums for a plan unless they are increased for all and policies cannot be cancelled.

Group Life
Make Sure Your Life Insurance Fits Your Growing Needs
Nothing can replace the loss of a loved one, but carefully chosen life insurance coverage can ease the financial stress that death brings to a family. As your financial responsibilities increase, you should ensure that your life insurance will be able to meet the added expenses.
 
Benefits
Planning ahead often spells the difference between success and failure. When it comes to your family's security, that means adequate life insurance protection. Now is a good time to review your life protection and make sure it has kept pace with inflation and your changing needs.
 
This excellent program offers coverage to you and your family. Employees of members are also eligible to apply for coverage. Benefits include:
  • Up to $1,000,000 of protection for members and
  • $250,000 of protection for spouses and
  • $5,000 of protection for children (to age 25)
  • Non-tobacco user discount
  • Accelerated death benefit
  • Level premiums at 5-year increments
Members may apply for benefits ranging from $25,000 to $1,000,000 (in $25,000 increments). Spouses of members may apply for benefits ranging from $25,000 to $250,000 (in $25,000 increments). Also, all children between 15 days and six months of age may be covered for $1000; between six months and 19 years of age (25, if a full-time student in a school, college or university), coverage is available for dependent children for a full $5,000. Full-time employees of members are eligible to apply for benefits up to $250,000.
 
Acceptance into this plan is subject to medical evidence of insurability as determined by Hartford Life. Depending on your age, the amount of coverage you request and your answers on the application, a medical examination, medical test(s) or other evidence of good health may be required. Any exams/tests requested by the company will be conducted at your convenience and at no expense to you.
 
The life benefit will be paid for death occurring at any time, any place, from any cause, except suicide during the first two years (we will refund the entire premium paid to date if suicide is committed during the first two years). Life benefits are paid to the beneficiary you designate.
 
Living Benefits Option ("Accelerated Benefit")
Facing a terminal illness is a critical time for anyone, both emotionally and financially. Most people have friends or family for emotional support, but where do they turn for financial assistance?
 
Hartford Life's Living Benefits Option may relieve some of the financial burdens associated with a terminal illness. This benefit allows you (and your spouse if covered) a one time option to receive up to 50% of the term life insurance proceeds, from $12,500 to a maximum of $500,000, upon being diagnosed by a physician as having twelve months or less to live as long as you are under age 70. Life proceeds can be distributed after a request and due proof have been received following a waiting period of 180 days.
 
For example, if you're covered for $100,000 under the Term Life Plan and you become terminally ill, you may request an amount between $10,000 and $50,000. However, if you select $20,000 now, you may not request the remaining $30,000 in the future.
 
The funds are received in a lump sum payment without restriction on how you can use them. The face amount of your term life policy is then reduced by the accelerated benefit amount paid out.
 
Individuals should consult their personal tax advisor since the proceeds under this benefit may be taxable.
 
Eligibility
All active members of the American College of Emergency Physicians in good standing under age 60 who can provide acceptable evidence of insurability are eligible to apply for coverage. All spouses of members under age 60 who can provide acceptable evidence of insurability are also eligible to apply. Unmarried, dependent children of members who rely on those members for support, from age 15 days to 19 years (25 if a full-time student), are eligible for coverage as well. All full-time employees of members (working at least 30 hours per week) under age 60 are also eligible to apply for coverage.
 
When both spouses are eligible members, each may apply for coverage as "members"; however, coverage may not be duplicated by applying as dependents of each other. Coverage for eligible children may only be requested by one member.
 
Coverage Effective Date
Your insurance will become effective on the first day of the month following the date that the Company approved your application and your premium is paid.
 
Dependents' coverage begins the date you become covered or the first day of the month following approval to add such dependent, whichever date is later, and provided the required premium is paid.
 
A member or spouse must be able to perform the normal activities of a person of like age and sex in good health on the date his or her insurance is to take effect. If such is not the case, their insurance will take effect on the day the person resumes such activities.
 
Employees of members must be actively at work* on the day their coverage becomes effective. If not, their effective date will be postponed until the first day the employee resumes full time work.
 
*Actively-at-work means a person who is performing all the regular duties of his or her occupation on a full-time basis (at least 30 hours per week) at his or her customary place of employment.
 
Termination
Your coverage will remain in force as long as you pay your premiums when due, remain an active member of the American College of Emergency Physicians, you are under age 70, and the program remains in force. Dependents' coverage terminates if your coverage terminates, premiums are not paid when due or such person ceases to be an eligible dependent.
 
Premium Non-smoker and smoker rates are available. A smoker is defined as a person who has smoked cigarettes, cigars or used a pipe or chewing tobacco, nicotine chewing gum or snuff during the 12 months prior to the date he or she applied for coverage. A discount is also available if you purchase a benefit of $100,000 or more. 

Rates are based on the attained age of the Insured Person and increase as you enter each new age category. Premiums are based on each person's age at date of issue and change on the renewal dates occurring on, or the next following the date a person covered under the program attains ages 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 and 65. The Company reserves the right to change premiums and rates may be changed on a class basis.
 
Waiver of Premium for Disability If you become totally disabled before age 60 while you're covered under this program and the disability continues for six consecutive months, your life insurance will be continued in force without further premium payment while you remain disabled. Please note this provision does not apply to dependents' benefits. A total disability is one which prevents you from engaging in any occupation for wage or profit and must result from an injury or sickness.
 
Conversion Privilege If your coverage ends for any reason (except for policy cancellation, coverage for a class of persons ends, or because of non-payment), you have the right to request an individual policy without having to provide evidence of insurability. To convert to an individual policy you must complete a notice of conversion privilege form for the conversion policy and send in the required premium within 31 days from the time your term life plan ends. Complete details may be found in your term life certificate of insurance.
 
30 Day Free Review You have 30 days from your effective date of coverage to look over the program and discuss it with your family and advisors. If you are not satisfied, you may return your certificate within 30 days for a full premium refund.
 
Beneficiary Designation Any person or persons you name may be the beneficiary of this insurance. You can change your beneficiary at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Administrator.
 
Exclusions and Limitations Suicide is excluded for two years from the effective date of each person's coverage (In the event of death due to suicide, we will only pay an amount equal to the premium paid for coverage to the date of death).

Disability Insurance

Protect Your Most Valuable Asset: Your Ability to Earn a Living
An injury or illness that results in disability could keep you from working for months. Your major medical insurance would cover much of your hospital and physician expenses, but how would you replace your income? Disability income insurance can help protect your home, your children's education and the assets for which you've worked so hard.
 
Benefits
Thanks to your membership in the American College of Emergency Physicians, you now have the opportunity to apply for a comprehensive disability income protection plan from Hartford Life at reasonable group rates. Disability Income Protection will partially replace your income if you're sick or injured and can't work - up to $10,000 per month! Your plan will provide you with these valuable benefits:
  • Two plans to choose from -- up to $10,000 per monthly benefit
  • Occupation-specific
  • Affordable group rates
  • Partial disability benefit
  • Residual disability benefit
  • Waiver of premium during disability
Like most people, your most valuable asset is your ability to earn an income. Your family's lifestyle, your home, your children's education and your retirement all hinge on your ability to work.
 
How would you continue to pay your bills if you suddenly became too sick or too hurt to work? Without an income, years of hard-earned savings could evaporate in a matter of months, even weeks.
 
That unpleasant thought is a reality that every breadwinner should consider. The odds of becoming disabled are probably much greater than you think:
 
In 1995, 120,000,000 workdays were lost because of work injuries.*
In 1994, there were 8.4 injuries and illnesses for every 100 workers in the private sector. This represents 6.8 million men and women.**

Apply now for disability coverage
Most people wouldn't dream of leaving their home, cars, boats or other valuables uninsured, but few think to insure their loss of income. It's too late to do anything about it once you've become disabled. That's why it's so important to safeguard your income now - while you're healthy and active.
