Significant premium savings are available through a number of qualifying high deductible health plans (HDHP) on an individual or group basis. For more information or a quote on any of these plans, please call a Client Service Representative at 800-775-2020 or download the quote request form below.

TERM LIFE

ReliaStar Life Insurance Company, one of the ING family of companies, is the new insurer of the association sponsored Level Term Life program. The program offers members two insurance options: 10-Year Level Term and 20-Year Level Term.

And, you may apply for amounts from $200,000 up to $1,000,000!

Rates for the first 10 or 20 years of your coverage are locked in so that you do not experience increases in premium as you get older. This results in substantial premium savings during the life of the coverage. After the initial 10 or 20 year term period, you can reapply for coverage at your then attained age or transfer to the regular term life program if you no longer qualify through underwriting.

Each plan also includes both a travel assistance service and a funeral planning and concierge service at no additional charge to you.

You may also insure your spouse or domestic partner, and your eligible employees may apply for coverage as well.

For members who wish to apply for amounts from $50,000 to $150,000, a traditional annual renewable term plan is available.

Level Term Life Insurance is underwritten by ReliaStar Life Insurance Company.
