RE: Continuation of Disability Insurance -- Conversion Offer
The Medical Center includes a long term disability insurance policy as part of your resident benefits.  The policy provides benefits in case you are unable to carry out professional duties as defined by the terms of the policy.
While the coverage ends when you complete your residency program, it may be continued on an individual basis.  No medical exam is required.  The enrollment period is open through June 30, 2007.
Your opportunity to convert to an individual disability policy from Principal Life Insurance Company includes unisex pricing and 30% discounted premiums exclusively available from Lumsden & Associates, the insurance brokerage firm selected by the University of Illinois for institutional disability policies at the College of Medicine.
Please review the enclosed information about the policy.  The policy's unique benefits and coverage are described there in detail.
Questions about the program may be addressed to David Lumsden's office at 1-800-789-6315.
