Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance

Accidents are unpredictable. Your future doesn’t have to be.

OMA Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance is an affordable complement to your existing insurance plans.

Accidents are unexpected but one thing you can plan for is making sure you have the appropriate safety net in place for you and your family. Protection is available with OMA Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance — a simple and affordable way to complement your existing Life and Disability Insurance coverage. 

OMA Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance coverage includes:

Protection

We provide you and if applicable, your spouse and eligible dependent children, insurance against accidental death or accidental injury. We pay a lump sum in addition to any other benefit you or your family may receive.

No medical evidence

If you are actively practicing medicine in Canada excluding residents of Quebec and under the age of 70, your application acceptance is guaranteed.

The choice is yours

You can choose to insure yourself or yourself and your family. You may select an amount of insurance from a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $1,000,000 (in units of $100,000).

Portability

You may continue coverage if you are residing outside of Canada, provided you maintain your membership and continue to pay your premiums. You are not permitted to request any increases in coverage while you reside outside of Canada.

Waiver of premiums

If you become totally disabled prior to age 65 and continue to be totally disabled for 270 days, payment of premiums for your coverage may be waived provided proof is submitted no later than 12 months after the date you became totally disabled, while you remain totally disabled, or until you reach age 70, whichever occurs first.

Note: The pilot and crew member option is limited to $300,000. This optional coverage is offered to you only, to extend the AD&D coverage for losses resulting from accidental bodily injuries while traveling in the status of a pilot or crew member which are not covered under the regular AD&D coverage.

Frequently asked questions

When you select Family Coverage, your family will become insured as follows:

  • If you do not have dependent children, your spouse will be insured for 50% of the amount of insurance you have selected for yourself

  • If you do not have a spouse, each dependent child will be insured for 20% of your amount of insurance, up to a maximum of $100,000 per child

Common disaster: This benefit only applies if you selected Family Coverage, where both you and your spouse

four years to each eligible dependent child who, at the time of your accidental death, was enrolled as a full-time
student in an institution of higher learning beyond the secondary level; or, if at the secondary level and subsequently
enrols as a full-time student in an institution of higher learning within 365 days of the date of your accidental death.
If no dependent children were eligible for this benefit, we will pay a lump-sum amount of $1,000 to your designated
beneficiary.

Spousal training: In the event of your death for which a death benefit becomes payable, we will pay for expenses
incurred by your spouse to participate in a formal occupational training program to become qualified for active employment where your spouse would not otherwise be qualified. This benefit is available within five years of the accident and up to a
maximum of $15,000 in total is available for expense payments.

rehabilitation benefit of up to a maximum of $10,000 may be payable.
