As an independent physician working as a locum tenens, a contractor, or within a hospital system but without employer-sponsored health insurance, you might not realize that you can still qualify for group health insurance. While many of your peers in corporate environments benefit from employer-sponsored coverage, you deserve access to similar benefits. Fortunately, with Open Enrollment Special Options from TMA Insurance Trust, you may qualify for group PPO coverage—known for its flexibility and ability to see specialists without referrals—so you don't have to settle for an individual HMO. This could open doors to better health insurance, giving you the control and quality of care you prefer.

With Open Enrollment just around the corner, now is the perfect time to evaluate your health insurance options. This crucial window, leading up to Open Enrollment, allows you to explore and compare various plans, positioning yourself to choose the coverage that fits your needs for the year ahead. By preparing early, you’ll be ready to make informed decisions once Open Enrollment begins.
