Stay in Stride with Life and Disability Insurance
When the gazelle wakes up every morning, it must outwit the lion to survive. Wild manes appear on the horizon, the sun shines on gleaming incisors, and the prey needs to outsmart its predator.
You probably don’t flee many 400-pound felines, though you may work with these majestic creatures. As you hunt for high exam scores and your DVM, you have the “eye of the tiger,” because it seems like nothing will slow you down.
Unfortunately, unexpected events can halt your positive momentum. That’s where the Veterinary Student Essential Protection Package (VetSTEPPTM) comes into play. This package includes a Rabies Prophylaxis Benefit, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), Disability Insurance, and other valuable benefits through AVMA Insurance Services.
Disability Income Insurance provides a monthly benefit payment if a covered disabling illness or injury prevents you from attending veterinary school full time.
A Rabies Prophylaxis Benefit helps offset the cost of rabies vaccinations and/or titers, which may be required by your veterinary school.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance can help you and your family with financial support if you suffer a dismembering injury or accidental death resulting from a covered accident.
We also provide $25,000 of term life insurance to eligible SAVMA members1 at no cost, compliments of AVMA Insurance Services. Click here to register for this complimentary coverage.
Of course, if you need more information, visit the AVMA VetSTEPP™ page for coverage features, costs, eligibility, renewability, exclusions, and limitations.
1To qualify, you must be a SAVMA member in good standing; be between age 18 and 65; reside in, and be a legal resident of, the 50 United States, District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico; and be a full-time veterinary student at a school designated by the policyholder within the U.S. “Good standing” means that your SAVMA membership dues have been paid and are up do date by November 1 of the academic year (or April 1 if the student is beginning in a Winter term). If you do not meet all this eligibility criteria, benefits will not be paid under this complimentary offer funded by AVMA Insurance Services.
