Running a medical practice is a lot like running a close-knit community. The people who show up every day are far more than just names on a payroll sheet; they are the heartbeat of your practice. You celebrate their milestones, support them when life gets difficult, and rely on them to keep your patients cared for.
If you look closely at some of the most rewarding moments as a physician, they rarely stay confined to the exam room. A successful diagnosis, treatment plan, and recovery ripple far outward—affecting not only the patient, but everyone who loves and depends on them. At the end of the day, protecting our families and loved ones is a primary concern for all of us.
Every day, our advisors at TMA Insurance Trust speak directly with independent practice owners across Texas. Lately, one message has become incredibly clear: the high cost of group health premiums is placing a greater financial strain on small to midsize medical practices.
As a dedicated physician, you understand the importance of consulting a specialist when a patient presents with a complex, multifaceted condition. You have also likely seen patients delay seeking care simply because they feel overwhelmed by the process.
If a sudden injury or illness prevented you from practicing, how long could your business function without you? While many physicians have disability insurance (DI) to cover their mortgage and groceries, those benefits rarely stretch far enough to cover office rent, staff salaries, equipment leases, and more.
There are only two weeks left to take advantage of special group PPO health insurance options.
Open Enrollment is moving quickly, and many Texas physicians are finalizing their coverage for 2026. Before you renew, it’s worth making one important call to TMA Insurance Trust. You may discover you qualify for coverage you didn’t know was possible.
Helping small practice owners and independent physicians secure the best group health insurance coverage has always been part of our mission. Even when it feels like premiums are always climbing, TMA Insurance Trust has worked hard to research and uncover ways for you to see if you qualify for group health insurance, even without employees, and gain more ways to manage costs.
Each year, Open Enrollment offers the opportunity to review your health insurance and make sure it still aligns with how you practice medicine. If you own a small practice or work independently, you may assume your choices are limited to individual coverage, often an HMO or a short-term medical plan.
