Get $20,000 Of Critical Illness Insurance – With
Guaranteed Acceptance

 

Physicians are like everyone else in at least one respect – no one is immune to the possibility of a serious illness.

Every year, 720,000 Americans have a heart attack.1 Every 40 seconds a stroke occurs.2 And in the United States, the risk of developing cancer is 1 in 3 for both men and women.3

And here is another sobering thought: With the higher deductibles, copays and coverage limits of many of today’s health insurance plans, it’s very likely that your primary health insurance will not cover all the expenses related to a prolonged serious illness.

That is why we are offering TMA members guaranteed acceptance for $20,000 of critical illness insurance.

Enroll Now – No Questions Asked

This is a limited-time offer for The TMA Member Critical Illness Plan issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America.4 If you enroll now, no questions will be asked and no underwriting will be required. Your acceptance is guaranteed.

This opportunity is available from February 1st until March 31st. We cannot guarantee it will be available after this date. So to ensure your guaranteed acceptance, we encourage you to enroll today.

Why is Critical Illness Insurance Important?

The out-of-pocket medical and non-medical expenses that typically accompany a critical illness – like cancer, stroke, heart attack or Alzheimer’s disease – are often unexpected and can seem unmanageable.

These can include: out of network medical care, specialized and experimental medication, travel to and from a treatment facility, medical devices for your home, additional child care as well as the cost of a caregiver.
