Maximum I&P Limit Increases and Occ Class Upgrades

We’ve made changes to make Platinum Advantage even more competitive. These changes are based on our ongoing market evaluation, which includes our existing business block. Our goal is to ensure comprehensive and competitive income protection for your clients.

Effective immediately, we’ve increased Platinum Advantage issue and participation limits for medical and dental occupations. We've also upgraded occupation classes for several medical professions.

You’ll notice we no longer separate limits based on medical and dental occupation classes. Instead, we’ll differentiate by age.
