Life is unpredictable and full of surprises; some pleasant, and others not. The abrupt and unexpected diagnosis of a critical illness falls into the latter category. It goes beyond threatening your health and disrupting your daily routines; your family's financial security is also at risk. Taking proactive measures becomes imperative.
When you or a loved one receives a serious illness diagnosis, quick decisions are crucial. In those urgent moments, financial concerns often take a back seat as you focus on the best possible outcome, regardless of the cost. Critical illness insurance steps in to help provide the extra funds you need during uncertain times.
The unexpected nature of illness is in the numbers; every 40 seconds, someone in the United States experiences a myocardial infarction.¹ In 2022 alone, nearly 1.9 million new cancer cases were diagnosed nationwide,² with 139,320 of those cases projected to occur in Texas.³ These statistics represent individuals facing health battles and daunting economic setbacks.
As a physician, you grasp the fragility of life better than most and no doubt grapple with life’s uncertainties yourself. If you or someone you love has had to confront an unexpected, life-altering illness, you can truly appreciate how devastating it would be navigating one's declining health and the threat of inadequate finances to pay for treatment.
Nothing impacts our lives more than having to change our normal routine to deal with a serious illness. The last few years have taught us that even our well-being is not guaranteed. Thus, with changing times and uncertain health, TMA Insurance Trust is offering two valuable guarantees that you can take to the bank. First, for a limited time, TMA Insurance Trust members under age 65 are guaranteed to be accepted for $20,000 of TMA Member Critical Illness coverage. The second is this - if you become critically ill with a covered illness, $20,000 is paid directly to you - guaranteed. Now, those are guarantees you can bank on.
Preparing for life’s unexpected moments doesn't have to be a daunting task. As a physician, you appreciate how important it is to take care of your health. However, even the healthiest person can fall victim to an unexpected life-altering illness that may not be fully covered by your medical insurance. Since paying for critical illness care often goes well beyond traditionally covered costs, such an unforeseen serious illness would jeopardize your financial security. Therefore, TMA Insurance Trust is 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.
Serious, critical - two words that no one wants to hear associated with illness. Being the one to care for the needs of patients daily can contribute to physicians having a blindspot when it comes to their own health. Taking a step back and considering what you would do if you were the patient is necessary because no physician is immune to a sudden, serious illness.
TMA Insurance Trust was created by physicians for physicians. We know firsthand that this is something physicians can lose sight of. The physical and emotional toll a critical illness can take on you and your family can be devastating. If you’re not prepared ahead of time, the financial impact could be devastating too.
There are many risks in everyday life. That’s why we have insurance protection. And most physicians view certain types of insurance as absolutely essential. Health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance are some examples.
Though you likely view health insurance as vitally important, does it offer the same benefits and level of financial protection that it once did? Many physicians will agree: the fabric of health insurance has frayed, and today, they must share the ever-growing costs of health care with their health insurance provider.
If a serious illness should affect you, you will likely have many medical and non-medical expenses to pay. This is why TMA Insurance Trust is offering members under age 65 the TMA Member Critical Illness Insurance Plan.
