"Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today."
It rang true when Ben Franklin said it over two centuries ago. And it may, in fact, be good advice when it comes to reviewing your current life insurance coverage.

Like many people, it may have been years since you last took out a life insurance policy. Most people buy life insurance when they first get married or start a family. They file the policy away with their important papers and usually don’t give it a second thought. But with the rise of inflation, it may be time to take another look at your policy.

As a physician, you most likely think more about caring for a patient than becoming one. It can be difficult to shift perspective and think about your own care and what you would do in the event of a serious illness. TMA Insurance Trust understands that. That’s why we’re making a special effort to inform you about the TMA Member Critical Illness Insurance Plan, issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. TMA members under the age of 65 are guaranteed acceptance for $20,000 of TMA Member Critical Illness Insurance.
Whether you work in a hospital or in an office setting, you no doubt recognize the benefits of collaborating with specialized medical professionals. No one physician can do it all, instead you work together to provide the best possible care to your patients. The same applies to insurance. Your comprehensive health insurance is vital to maintaining your health–but it can’t do it all. If you become seriously ill, high deductibles, copays and maximum benefit limits can quickly cause financial strain during an already stressful time.
The pandemic has been a sobering reminder that sudden, serious illness doesn’t discriminate. A serious illness can impact a family physically and emotionally–but also financially. How secure would your finances be if you or a family member were diagnosed with a critical illness?
