As a physician, your practice is more than just a profession—it's a testament to your dedication and hard work. However, unforeseen circumstances like illness or injury can disrupt even the most well-established practices.

In today’s evolving healthcare environment, independent physicians are exploring new health insurance options beyond traditional limitations.

However, many believe their only insurance option is an individual HMO plan. TMA Insurance Trust dispels this myth by offering group PPO health insurance options independent physicians prefer and deserve.

Thankfully, TMA Insurance Trust has introduced a new benefit to the TMA Member Long Term Disability Insurance Plan, issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America, providing you with a reliable financial safeguard during times of uncertainty.

Many physicians nearing age 65 look forward to retiring. But many who are close to the traditional age of retirement may choose to continue working.

That’s usually because they find fulfillment in their practice of medicine and the relationships they’ve built with their colleagues and patients. And, of course, there’s also the opportunity to continue to earn a good income.

However, if you are approaching 65 and plan to continue working, there are some critical Medicare decisions you must be ready to make. These cannot be put off. Otherwise, you could be hit with costly penalties for the rest of your life.
