A physician's life is constantly changing. Every day brings new challenges and responsibilities that can significantly impact your health and financial well-being. Protecting the security of yourself and your family's future is, without a doubt, your priority. If a sudden health issue should disrupt your ability to work, ask how this would affect your current lifestyle.
Disability insurance experts assert that if you cannot work due to a disability, you'll likely only need 60% to 65% of your salary since expenses are expected to decrease during your recovery.¹ TMA Insurance Trust maintains a different viewpoint. You and your family deserve to enjoy the life that you have built uninterrupted; our goal is to help you safeguard your income.
TMA members, you could save up to 30% on long-term disability insurance, and those under 55 years old are qualified to enroll in our short-term disability plan with guaranteed acceptance.
Exclusive Coverage, Discounts, and Benefits
TMA Insurance Trust offers a variety of disability plans with exclusive member rates, ensuring coverage that helps fill your income protection gap at a lower cost compared to other options. Here are some of the available coverage options provided exclusively to suit your needs:
- We work with Guardian, a leader in individual “own occupation” disability insurance. Physicians will be able to take advantage of exclusive discounts between 10% and 30% depending on their specialty and situation – for every year of the policy.
- Our exclusive “own occupation” TMA Member Long Term Plan issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America comes with a 25% Thank You Credit that can effectively save members thousands of dollars off our already low member premiums over the life of the policy, while helping to protect their income to Social Security retirement age. This is an affordable way to help supplement your existing coverage with a timesaving, simple application process. And because our group rates are the same for men and women, women physicians can take advantage of savings of up to 40% - 50% when compared to individual disability plans.
- TMA Members under age 55 can take advantage of our new TMA Member Short Term Disability Plan with guaranteed acceptance for a benefit of up to $6,000/month.* Coverage up to $10,000/month² is available for members under age 65 with underwriting. Pregnancy is covered under this plan once the insured has been covered for at least 12 months.
- We also offer a plan through Lloyd’s of London that provides a monthly benefit of up to $100,000. The plan is not constricted by the limits domestic carriers place on the amount of coverage one can have.
TMA Insurance Trust understands the insurance needs of physicians, whether you are new to seeking coverage or looking to enhance your protection by adding a supplemental policy to your current plan. Our experienced advisors will review the new policy's waiting period, ensuring it aligns with your existing coverage, and suggest shorter periods for quicker benefits or longer ones to help reduce premiums.
