LIFE AND AD&D INSURANCE
We provide basic life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance at no cost to full-time, weekend option full-time and weekend option team members to help ensure your loved ones have sufficient income in case of a death or serious accident. You do not have to enroll for basic life insurance. For additional income protection, you may choose to buy supplemental life insurance for yourself, your spouse and your children.
If you're currently enrolled in supplemental life insurance, you must re-enroll during Annual Enrollment to continue your coverage.

DUAL COVERAGE
If both you and your spouse or child are Children’s Mercy team members, then:
- You cannot be covered as both a team member and dependent (under your spouse’s plan) for life and AD&D insurance.
- You can only elect spouse life coverage for your spouse if your spouse is ineligible to have their own coverage at Children's Mercy.
- Between you and your spouse, only one of you can elect child life coverage.
Some insurance benefits require you to provide proof of your health before you or your dependents are eligible for coverage. The Personal Health Application (PHA) form is used to document proof of good health. If you need to submit a PHA form, The Hartford — our life insurance plan administrator — will email you instructions to submit your PHA form. You may need to provide proof of good health:
- When you are newly eligible for coverage. You may choose coverage up to two times your annual pay rate for yourself and $25,000 for your spouse without proof of good health. Any coverage more than that amount (except child life insurance) requires proof of good health.
- During Annual Enrollment. You may enroll in or request an increase to your level of supplemental life insurance coverage up to five times your annual pay rate. You also may enroll in or request an increase to supplemental life insurance coverage for your spouse in $25,000 increments, up to $100,000. Any increase in coverage (except child life insurance) requires proof of good health.
If you elect coverage greater than this, you'll receive instructions from The Hartford about how to submit your PHA form through its website. The increase in your coverage will not take effect until The Hartford has notified you that it has been approved.
