There is a unique kind of vulnerability that arises when the physician becomes the patient. For years, you have been the steady hand during your patients' most critical moments, the calm voice in a crisis, and the cornerstone of their care. But when the diagnosis is your own, it often triggers a secondary crisis that has nothing to do with medicine and everything to do with the logistics of life.

As a dedicated physician, you spend your life caring for others. You know better than anyone that if a serious illness strikes close to home, affecting you or a loved one, the financial impact could be devastating. You have health insurance, of course. Yet, you also know that high deductibles, co–pays, and out–of–network costs can leave massive gaps in your financial protection.

Retirement is an exciting new chapter, one filled with possibilities. As you prepare, it's important to make sure your insurance is ready to support you in the years ahead. When you step away from an employer's plan, some of the benefits you've relied on may not carry into retirement. To help you avoid costly surprises, here are some of the most common coverage gaps to consider before you retire.

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.

You know the importance of guiding patients through major health decisions. They rely on you to explain their choices and help them move forward with confidence. That is the same approach TMA Insurance Trust takes with Medicare Annual Enrollment (AEP) for physicians and their families.

Whether you are approaching age 65 and exploring Medicare for the first time or you’re already enrolled, knowing the critical dates and deadlines is essential. Missing a key window of opportunity can affect your coverage, costs, and even your ability to get the plans you need.

Health insurance covers medical treatments, but what about the many other expenses a serious illness can bring? The TMA Member Critical Illness Insurance plan, issued by the Prudential Insurance Company of America, is designed to assist with these additional costs. To help you understand how the plan works and highlight its value, here’s a step-by-step walkthrough.

As a Texas physician, your ability to earn an income and care for your loved ones is one of your most valuable assets. An unexpected illness or injury can prevent even the most dedicated physician from practicing, and without adequate protection, this can lead to financial hardship for you and your family.
