Health insurance covers medical treatments, but what about the many other expenses a serious illness can bring? The TMA Member Critical Illness Insurance plan, issued by the Prudential Insurance Company of America, is designed to assist with these additional costs. To help you understand how the plan works and highlight its value, here’s a step-by-step walkthrough.

You probably know exactly where your investment accounts stand. You might even be running a tight ship on your retirement planning. But when it comes to protecting the one thing that fuels all of it—your income—how dialed in are you?

Many physicians either assume they’re covered through work or bought a policy years ago and haven’t thought much about it since. But here’s the thing: a lot of disability insurance doesn’t go far enough when you actually need it. And unless you’ve taken a close look, you could be exposed in ways that could seriously impact your financial future.

Let’s break this down.

You dedicate so much time to your career and responsibilities—have you considered how the life you’ve built will continue to support your family in the years ahead? The long hours and demands of being a physician often leave little time for reflection. It’s easy to delay these decisions or overlook the steps needed to help secure your family’s future.

As an independent physician working as a locum tenens, a contractor, or within a hospital system but without employer-sponsored health insurance, you might not realize that you can still qualify for group health insurance. While many of your peers in corporate environments benefit from employer-sponsored coverage, you deserve access to similar benefits. Fortunately, with Open Enrollment Special Options from TMA Insurance Trust, you may qualify for group PPO coverage—known for its flexibility and ability to see specialists without referrals—so you don't have to settle for an individual HMO. This could open doors to better health insurance, giving you the control and quality of care you prefer.

Winter is once again on its way. And with it comes the threat of severe weather and the risk of accidents on the road and damage to your property. 

Of all the insurance you will likely obtain throughout your career and lifetime, life insurance stands apart. It is one of the easiest types of coverage to secure, while also providing a maximum amount of financial protection and added peace of mind to you and your family.

In these uncertain times, it’s not just smart planning to have a life insurance policy in place–it’s essential. For TMA Members, it’s never been easier to apply.

Because life insurance offers financial protection for loved ones, most physicians see the value in securing this financial protection for their families.

What if you could supplement your life insurance protection, simply and affordably? Some physicians choose to help protect their families financially with an Accidental Death and Dismemberment plan. Let’s talk about how practical and affordable this insurance is, and why you may want to obtain it.

We value the life-saving work you do and understand that practicing medicine isn’t just a job. It’s a way of life - one that impacts you and everyone in your life. That’s why TMA Insurance Trust is continually looking for new ways to support member physicians and their families.
