There is still much about COVID-19 we do not yet understand. But this much is clear: Those who are dedicated to fighting this pandemic on the front lines of healthcare have the highest risk of exposure to the virus.

Physicians across Texas and the nation must confront this reality every day.

So it should come as no surprise that we are receiving a growing number of questions from physicians who are giving new consideration to how they can help protect their family with life insurance.

We know that during these challenging times you are working hard to care for your patients, as well as your family. So here is a quick look at some key questions and answers about life insurance that may be helpful now that we are living in a very different world.

Can I Still Get Life Insurance During The Pandemic?

The answer is yes. There are still options for life insurance coverage – including a plan exclusively for TMA members – even now during the current health crisis.

Is Life Insurance Expensive?

Many physicians are often hesitant to consider term life insurance because they are concerned about the cost. There is a general misconception that life insurance is expensive. Actually, it is very cost-effective for most physicians.

For instance, a 40-year-old male physician can get $1,000,000 of life insurance with a 20-year term for about $50/month.

Can I Get a Plan From a Nationally Known Company?

Members have told us they prefer to work with highly-rated insurance companies. This is one reason TMA Insurance Trust has forged a long-standing relationship with The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential).

Prudential was selected because of their financial strength and stability, insurance industry leadership, speed of claim payments and the quality of their customer service.

As an exclusive benefit, TMA Member Term Life Insurance issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America is available to all TMA Members. And it is important to note: COVID-19 is covered under the TMA Member Term Life Plan.

Can I Get Coverage Quickly?

You might have heard that since the surge of COVID-19 in the United States, consumers applying for life insurance are experiencing delays from companies reviewing their applications and making approval decisions.

We understand that physicians today are grappling with numerous concerns – both personal and professional – as a result of COVID-19. But we believe at this time life insurance has never been more essential for your family.
