The clock is ticking on Open Enrollment for individual health coverage, which closes on December 11th for a January 1, 2026 effective date. This is a critical moment for practice owners and independent physicians to thoroughly evaluate or reevaluate their current group health insurance options, especially since special enrollment options may allow you to secure flexible group PPO coverage even without employees. This little-known window could be the key to managing your costs and improving your benefits for 2026.

Helping small practice owners and independent physicians secure the best group health insurance coverage has always been part of our mission. Even when it feels like premiums are always climbing, TMA Insurance Trust has worked hard to research and uncover ways for you to see if you qualify for group health insurance, even without employees, and gain more ways to manage costs.

No matter where you are on your career path, your ability to earn an income is your single most valuable asset. In an instant, your rainy-day savings could disappear, putting you and your family in a difficult financial spot. As a practicing physician with growing responsibilities, you may be paying a mortgage, raising a family, and balancing a more complex financial life.

As winter approaches, now is the perfect time to review your auto and homeowners insurance. While Texas winters may be milder than in other regions, severe weather can still strike unexpectedly. At TMA Insurance Trust, we can help ensure your policies provide the best protection for your home and vehicle—while also finding ways to save you money.

A serious accident can change everything in an instant. While life insurance generally provides financial protection for death, it's often not enough to cover the impact of a severe injury. The TMA Member Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) plan, issued by the Prudential Insurance Company of America, can help bridge that gap, offering you and your family the extra protection you need.

Disability insurance can be hard to decode. And when the benefits physicians value most—like specialty-specific protection or the ability to increase coverage over time—are treated as costly extras, it’s easy to lose sight of whether your policy truly reflects the value of your income. The result? Coverage that’s more confusing and potentially more expensive than it should be.

You can’t predict when or where a serious accident might happen—on the road driving to work, during your daily routines, or while traveling for vacation or to a conference. But you can take steps now to help protect your family from the financial toll if the unexpected happens to you.

We get it—life insurance isn’t always a priority, whether you’re just getting started or have been practicing for years.

Life has finally started to take shape after all the long hours and effort it took to get here. You’re earning, planning, maybe paying off loans, or settling into your first real home. You’ve got momentum and you’re putting the pieces in place for what comes next.
