With your AAO membership, you can become covered under two important group insurance policies at no cost to you— Student Disability coverage and Student Term Life coverage. AAO picks up the tab to support student members like you. When you graduate, you’ll be given the opportunity to continue this coverage on a premium-paying basis.

In the past, Student Term Life insurance was provided to residents without the requirement to opt in. Moving forward, AAO members must opt in to receive this complimentary coverage. This change ensures all AAO members are aware of and take advantage of the coverage they receive.
