If a patient needs specialized care outside of your expertise, you likely wouldn’t hesitate to refer them to a specialist. TMA Insurance Trust has been the “go-to” health insurance specialist for physicians for decades. Last year, we helped over 700 practice owners get quality coverage at a competitive price. This year, once again, we’ve used our specialized skills and experience to uncover a way for physicians to help control their insurance costs and possibly secure better group coverage for themselves and their practice.

As a practice owner, when one of your patients needs specialized care or advice, you refer them to a physician who specializes in that particular field of medicine. That’s standard procedure.

But what about in your own life? What if you needed advice in an area in which you had limited knowledge? What if, for example, you wanted advice about health insurance? Would you reach out to a “specialist?”

Life moves fast for small practice owners. Between the responsibilities of running your practice and your family commitments, each day can seem like it never has enough hours in it to get everything done.

So it’s a good bet that in your spare time – what little you have – you’re not poring over the latest iterations of health insurance regulations. Which means you may not be aware of special health insurance options available to you during the small group Special Enrollment Period (11/15 – 12/15, 2021).

When Open Enrollment begins, you will have access to special health insurance options that may help you secure better coverage for yourself and those in your practice. These options are the best kept secret in the insurance industry. TMA Insurance Trust is here to make sure you know, have access to, and can benefit from these limited time options. We’re also here to help in every step of the enrollment process. We diligently make sure you have the support and information you need to make informed decisions, and our goal is to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING

Health Insurance Open Enrollment is almost over. If you have not yet finalized your health insurance decisions for a January 1st effective date, it is imperative that you contact us now for assistance. TMA Insurance Trust wants to help you take advantage of important opportunities that are available to you during this limited time. If you contact us right away, we may still be able to help you obtain coverage.

This year has been especially challenging for practice owners ... and we don’t need to tell you why. What we do want to make clear is that we can make things a bit easier on you as you’re thinking about group health insurance choices for the coming year.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING

Whether you’re looking for your own health insurance, or wish to offer coverage to your employees, it’s easy to appreciate the benefits of PPO health insurance.

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.
