Learning about insurance is actually pretty interesting, especially disability and life insurance. While it’s something I hope none of us have to utilize, I’ve learned that disability and life insurance is one of the greatest assets we could have. The way I see it: Getting this insurance is not only something I can do for myself but also for my family.
One of the most valuable benefits of your ADA student membership ($5 of the dues we pay to ASDA goes toward our ADA membership) is the no-cost ADA disability and life insurance, underwritten by Great-West Financial®. The coverage includes $50,000 of life insurance, and $2,000 per month of disability insurance as well as up to $150,000 to repay student loans if you’re disabled. You will be covered throughout dental school, as well as residency. To some it might sound too good to be true, but you read it right! It truly is no cost and no strings attached! It’s like the other freebies that you will only get when you are a student, such as a free electric toothbrush, only much more valuable!
Here’s how EASY it is to sign up:
1. First, register your account here and request activation.
(You need your ADA number — it’s the same as your ASDA membership number, or you can call the ADA at 800.621.8099 to obtain it.)
2. Upon verification of your ADA student membership and eligibility, you will be enrolled in the insurance and will receive your Certificates of Insurance in the mail.
3. Done! The coverage will automatically renew each year, as long as you remain an ADA member, including residency.
