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 30,2009. | |
|
|
|
|
The individual disability policy from Principal Life Insurance Company includes unisex pricing and 20% discounted premiums, and provides a guarantee issue underwriting advantage which helps to make it unique and more competitive than individual disability policies offered by other carriers. Your opportunity to convert to this policy is exclusively available from Lumsden & Associates, the insurance brokerage firm selected by the University of Illinois for institutional disability policies at the College of Medicine. | |
