Accelerated Death Benefit
Your patient’s life insurance benefit also includes an Accelerated Death Benefit of up to $15,000. If they become terminally ill, they’re able to use some of their life insurance benefit while they’re still alive. This helps them stay comfortable near the end of their life.

- After they pass away, their beneficiary will receive the remaining $5,000.
