Life and AD&D insurance

Life and AD&D coverage protects your loved ones should the unthinkable happen to you.

Banner Health provides Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance to all benefits-eligible team members equal to your annual compensation (up to plan limits). When newly eligible, you can elect up to 10x your annual earnings in additional Voluntary Life and AD&D insurance. The maximum amount of coverage is subject to a $2,000,000 maximum that is combined with your Basic Life Insurance amount. Evidence of Insurability will be required for any Voluntary Life election that exceeds the lesser of 5x your annual earnings or $1 million.


During Open Enrollment or if you experience a Qualifying Life Event, you may also increase your coverage by an amount equal to your annual earnings provided the resulting amount of insurance does not exceed the guaranteed issue amount of the lesser of 5x your annual earnings or $1 million. You may apply for additional coverage increases up to 10x your annual earnings subject to Evidence of Insurability limits.
