Let's get real for a second, okay? Life is never guaranteed from one day to the next. So it's important to ask yourself:
"How would my loved ones cope financially if I were no longer in the picture?"
If your answer to any of those questions is no, then chances are you need life insurance. And as an AVMA member, you have access to member-exclusive group rates on life insurance coverage tailored to fit your needs.

If you've put off applying for life insurance, you're in luck. Eligible members may qualify for new, lower rates1 for 10-Year and 20-Year Level Term Life Insurance (LTL) through the AVMA LIFE Trust.
Plus, if you are a first-time new applicant and request $500,000 or less in coverage of Family Group Life (FGL) or Level Term Life (LTL), you could qualify for coverage without needing any medical exams or a doctor's visit—and you could get an underwriting decision as soon as today with QuickDecisionSM (QD) for FGL and as early as next week with our new Quicker-Decision Expedited Underwriting (QD-Expedited UW) process for LTL!2

1Effective September 1, 2023, New York Life repriced LTL Insurance available to AVMA members. The new rates are lower for most age groups but vary based on policy amount, risk class, gender, and tobacco/nicotine use. The new rates are based on the actual experience (group buying power) of AVMA members.
2New applications for $500,000 or less of FGL or LTL are subject to QD/QD-Expeditied UW. QD/QD-Expedited UW is available to AVMA members and their spouses/domestic partners under age 65 (under 55 for 20-Year LTL). Coverage is also available for dependent children under age 23. QD-Expedited UW is not available to an applicant who is age 65 or older (55 or older for 20-Year LTL); requests a coverage amount greater than $500,000; or who requests a coverage amount that, when combined with other coverage obtained through QD/QD-Expedited UW, exceeds a $500,000 lifetime QD/QD-Expedited UW limit. If an applicant is not eligible for QD/QD-Expedited UW, New York Life will process the application with full underwriting, which may include a medical interview or exams. Please review our QD/QD-Expedited UW Frequently Asked Questions.
