Dental AFSPA offers four dental plans to meet the needs of our worldwide membership - Cigna International, Cigna HMO, Cigna PPO, and Dominion National Elite Plus ePPO. Group Term Life Insurance Provides you and your family protection up to $600,000. It allows early access to a portion of your benefits to use towards chronic and terminal illness. Members of Household AFSPA offers medical coverage plans designed for family members – this includes domestic partners, parents, and dependent children who accompany the employee overseas, but who do not qualify for coverage under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHB). Travel Insurance AFSPA offers four (4) travel plans that cover a wide range of services including pre-trip assistance, travel assistance, and medical benefits.
Critical Illness Insurance With Critical Illness Insurance, benefits are paid in a lump sum up to $100,000 when you are diagnosed with a covered critical illness while covered in the plan. Benefits can be applied to out-of-pocket medical and non-medical expenses such as mortgage payments, rent, childcare, and more. Guaranteed issue coverage is available. Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Benefits are payable up to $600,000 for loss of limbs or fingers, sight, speech, hearing, coma, paralysis or death resulting from an accident. No medical underwriting or review of health history required. NEW! Senior Life Plan Designed specifically to care for final expenses such as funeral, burial, and cremation expenses, outstanding debts, including medical expenses and household bills, or for gifts to family or charity.
