Your practice stands as a testament to your life’s work, representing years of dedication, commitment, and hard work. You’ve built a career that gives you the independence to provide the best care for your patients while working to secure your financial future. But if a sudden injury or illness prevented you from practicing, how long could your business be sustained without you?
While you may already have a personal disability insurance plan that can help replace loss of income, it likely wouldn’t be enough to also cover the costs of running a medical practice if your revenue were to stop. The TMA Member Business Overhead Expense Insurance plan, issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America, is designed to provide tailored support to help safeguard your practice, serving as a financial safety net to ensure your business continues to thrive in your absence while you focus on recovery.
The Benefits of BOE Insurance
At TMA Insurance Trust, we recognize the unique financial challenges independent physicians face, especially without the added security of employer-provided benefits to help keep your practice financially stable. Taking a proactive step with Business Overhead Expense Insurance (BOE) can help cover your practice’s operating expenses if you were unexpectedly unable to practice due to a covered illness or injury. This helps ensure your business doesn’t stop just because you have to and that your partner(s), employees, family, and patients who depend on you are supported until you can return.
BOE insurance can assist with covering essential expenses, including rent and lease payments, employee salaries, utilities and office supplies, equipment depreciation, maintenance, loan payments, property taxes, and hiring a locum tenens to care for your patients.
TMA Members can access additional exclusive benefits of the TMA Member Business Overhead Expense Insurance plan that further support your practice:
- Higher Payout Options – Providing flexible coverage options of up to $50,000 per month for up to 12 months or $35,000 per month for up to 24 months, helping fit your practice’s needs and cover expenses.
- Lower Premiums – TMA Members can benefit from more affordable member rates compared to many competing carriers.
- Extended Benefit Periods – Coverage lasts up to 36 months (or until the full benefit amount is paid).
- Retroactive Benefits – The first benefit payment is made retroactively after 30 consecutive days of disability, helping cover the waiting period.
- Waived Premiums During Disability – While receiving benefits, your premiums are waived, eliminating additional financial strain.
Beyond keeping your practice operational, BOE insurance helps protect your financial future in several key ways:
- Maintains Your Professional Standing and Business Momentum – Ensures your practice remains a trusted part of your community while you recover, helping to retain staff and continue to uphold the level of patient care and trust you’ve established.
- Preserves Your Personal Finances – Prevents your personal savings and disability insurance benefits from being drained by practice expenses.
- Prepares for Unexpected Business Changes – If you have partners who plan to retire or leave the practice, BOE insurance can help offset the increased financial responsibility that may fall to you.
