What is term life insurance?

Term life insurance is an affordable option for providing financial stability for loved ones in case of your death. The ADA Term Life Insurance Plan offers high-quality coverage specifically designed for dentists, available at exclusive members-only rates. Premiums are cost-competitive and increase annually with age.

ADA members, their spouses and eligible dependents can enjoy exclusive cost-competitive rates that are among the lowest available in the market today.

Why do I need term life insurance?

Term life insurance is a cost-effective way to provide for your loved ones and help your financial legacy remain secure in the event of your unexpected passing. Additionally, term life insurance gives you options and can be used for things like collateralizing loans or funding buy-sell agreements.

Since many dentists are the primary earners in their families, protecting your loved ones is crucial. It’s recommended to have term life coverage equal to at least 15 times your annual income.*
