Accidental Death Insurance for Medical Procedures (ADIM)
ADIM: Insurance for Death during Surgery
Accidental Death Insurance for Medical Procedures (ADIM) is insurance that covers death during elective surgery. Like travel insurance, ADIM covers a specific event: from admission to discharge to a medical facility where a surgery will take place.
Lifeplan Investments has partnered with Samos Insurance to offer ADIM to our clients in Ontario.
When is the right time for Accidental Death Insurance?
Surgery is a critical moment many of us will face during our lives. A surgery interrupts our day-to-day routine and demands we consider the needs of our dependents. While surgery is safer than ever before, it still carries risk and is therefore a prompt to plan for the future.
ADIM acts as either a top-up to traditional life insurance or just-in-time coverage for uninsured or underinsured folks with an upcoming major medical procedure.
When a surgery is scheduled, life insurance becomes more difficult to procure. But because ADIM requires no medical exams and has no exclusions for pre-existing conditions, it’s an easy way to get insurance in a crunch.
