Enhanced Insurance Benefits for NTA Members
The NTA has been working overtime to respond to its member's requests.

For many years the NTA has included a $10,000 AD & D insurance policy with your membership. Well it just got better! We have added three new items to this policy.

Emergency Evacuation Benefit-You will receive covered emergency evacuation expenses reasonably incurred if you suffer an injury or emergency sickness that warrants emergency evacuation while you are outside a 100 mile radius from your current place of primary residence, up to a maximum of $25,000.00 for all emergency evacuations due to all injuries from the same accident or all emergency sickness from the same or related causes.

Repatriation of Remains Benefit-If you suffer loss of life due to injury while outside a 100 mile radius of your current place of primary residence, the insurance company will pay for covered expenses reasonably incurred to return your body to the current place of primary residence, up to a maximum of $5,000.00. Covered expenses include, but are not limited to, expenses for: (1) embalming or cremation; (2) the most economical coffins or receptacle adequate for transportation of the remains; and (3) transportation of the remains by the most direct and economical conveyance and route possible.

Rehabilitation Benefit-If you suffer an accidental dismemberment or an accidental paralysis for which an AD &D or paralysis benefit is payable under the policy, you will be reimbursed for covered rehabilitative expenses that are due to the injury causing the dismemberment or paralysis. The covered rehabilitative expenses must be incurred within two years after the date of the accident causing that injury, up to a maximum of $5,000.00 for all injuries caused by the same accident.

The above information is lengthy and detailed and would be costly for the NTA to include in member renewal packets. For a copy of the detailed information on the above new benefits send a self-addressed stamped envelope to: New AD & D Benefits, NTAHQ, 108 Branch Drive, Slidell, LA 70461.

That's Not All! What about your Taxidermy Studio?

There's always the chance of a fire in your area. Are you willing to lose the house on it? You'd be surprised how many taxidermists are still willing to risk everything they have over a small insurance premium. In too many cases, we don't have insurance because we make the mistake of believing our homeowners' insurance will cover our business. It doesn't in most cases. Most insurance companies won't insure a taxidermy business. Well, the NTA has obtained insurance for basic coverage for your business. The general liability program also offers of liability limit of $1,000,000.00. Premiums will be varied depending on your answers to the following list of items you would need to submit. Physical address of business building, amount of insurance desired (deductible -- $1,000.00 on building only), construction type, distance to fire station, protection class, year built and total area, building improvements, glass schedule, sign schedule, computers/EDP coverages are also available. But whatever the price it could hardly be considered a lot for the peace of mind that comes with knowing you can depend on a policy that's for taxidermists. Don't take a chance.
