As a Texas physician who currently has or will soon be eligible for Original Medicare, it is important to understand the limitations of Original Medicare. Health-related costs are one of the largest expenses during retirement. However, with proper insurance planning, many of these expenses can be covered by the insurance company, not by your retirement nest egg.
You may be a practice owner looking for group health insurance for yourself and your staff. Or maybe you’re searching for an individual health insurance plan for yourself and your family. Or it could be that you’re exploring the numerous Medicare options that are available to you.
Choosing a health insurance plan, or making changes to current coverage, can involve some very important decisions. So we suggest you consider getting a second opinion from a specialist – your TMA Insurance Trust advisor.
