A physician’s eligibility for a group PPO plan has historically relied on how many employees they have in their practice. TMA Insurance Trust has researched how to make this preferred coverage available to independent physicians who practice in a partnership without W2 employees. Special options may help you obtain group PPO health insurance for just yourself and your family. 

You know that if you’re an independent practice owner with employed staff, group PPO health insurance is an option for you. But what if for you, practicing as an independent physician means you are truly independent, with no employees?

In life, if you wait until you are ready to do something important, it could be too late.

What happens to your practice if you can’t work? Disability insurance can help keep your household on track financially if you become too sick or injured to work, but what about your practice? Having an emergency savings fund established is beneficial, but in today’s inflationary economy, many practice owners may find that it will no longer keep their practice running for as long as they anticipated. 

You’re a practice owner and you’ve invested an incredible amount of time and energy to get where you are. Nobody knows this better than you. 

Many independent physicians prefer group PPO plans because of their flexibility and more comprehensive coverage. Physicians who do not have employees may think group PPO health insurance isn’t an option for them. TMA Insurance Trust has found solutions that can help put PPO coverage within reach.

Your income provides a strong financial foundation for you and your family and life insurance can be one of your biggest allies in helping to keep that foundation secure. However, according to life insurance industry estimates, about 58% of men have life insurance but only 47% of women are covered.* To appreciate the value of life insurance for you as a physician, it’s important to understand all the various ways it can help you as your career progresses.

As a physician, you most likely think more about caring for a patient than becoming one. It can be difficult to shift perspective and think about your own care and what you would do in the event of a serious illness. TMA Insurance Trust understands that. That’s why we’re making a special effort to inform you about the TMA Member Critical Illness Insurance Plan, issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. TMA members under the age of 65 are guaranteed acceptance for $20,000 of TMA Member Critical Illness Insurance.
