Quick Take aways - Open Enrollment 2026Do you like shopping for health insurance? We didn’t think so. Poring over the details of plans, comparing carriers and calculating costs can be complicated and time-consuming.

But Open Enrollment is starting. So once again it’s time to decide if you want to keep your current health insurance or take advantage of opportunities to get better coverage. If you’d like to find an alternative to your current health plan – either due to costs or coverage limitations – we’re here to help. 

As a full service insurance agency we can help with all your group and individual health insurance needs. We’re committed to helping practice owners and independent physicians find their best options, while we help save you time and reduce the hassles of shopping for a new plan. 

Take Advantage of Special Options

One way we can help practice owners and independent physicians during Open Enrollment is by bringing their attention to special options they may not have known about. These can help practice owners and independent physicians in different ways.

Here’s how the special options can help practice owners and independent physicians

  • Practice owners looking for group coverage for their practice - there are initial enrollment opportunities available only during Open Enrollment to help practices manage the cost and be able to offer your employee’s group health insurance – including a mix of group PPO and HMO plans.
  • Practice owners with staff on their own health coverage (spouse’s plan or another provider) may be able to get PPO coverage just for themselves and their family.
  • Partners with no W-2 employees may be eligible for group coverage only for yourself. You’ll need to provide partnership documentation and the company’s SS4 or recent K-1 (Form 1065).
  • Physicians who own a business with their spouse, or their spouse is a W-2 wage employee, you may qualify for group coverage even without partnership documentation.
  • Establish a Health Savings Account (HSA), If you select an eligible high deductible health plan to manage costs better, you can open an HSA. These accounts offer tax advantages, spending flexibility and ongoing saving and investment opportunities.
  • Physicians opening your own practice, TMA Insurance Trust can help you with starting your own group plan.

To see how the special options may be able to help you get the health insurance you want in 2026, speak with one of our advisors. They can provide expert advice and guidance so you can make an informed decision. And since they don’t work for sales-based commissions, you can be certain that your best interests are their number one priority.
