Protecting What Matters Most

Practice owners who are shopping for health insurance during Open Enrollment, between November 1st and December 15th, can consider ways to control the cost of their health insurance. Some may think that increasing the deductible – the amount each employee would need to pay before the insurance company begins to pay benefits – is the way to offset a premium increase. However, it may be worth considering another way to manage costs so benefits can be maintained or made more affordable to the practice.

It’s Health Insurance Open Enrollment – and time is running out to make health insurance decisions. But this could also be a hectic time for your practice. And the last thing you probably want to do is sort through plans, rates and the complexities of today’s health insurance market.

This is when you can – and should – reach out to a group health insurance specialist.

As you operate your independent medical practice, do your expenses ever decrease? You may scoff at such a question. No doubt each year, as you look at the cost of providing employee benefits, it appears that health insurance premiums only climb … higher and higher.

However, TMA Insurance Trust has done the research and uncovered an option for practice owners to control their group health insurance costs. What is more, this option can even make it possible for practice owners to obtain group PPO coverage for themselves and even offer a group health insurance plan to employees without impacting your bottom line. How is this possible?
