Many practice owners have either reduced their staff’s working hours or have had to furlough employees. Though you are concerned for your patients’ and your staff’s health, you’re also rightfully concerned about what the future will bring for your practice. Recently, many practice owners who have secured group health insurance through TMA Insurance Trust have contacted us with questions about their group benefits. Please know that if you need assistance with benefits questions, we are available to help you. ## Moving Forward With Your Practice We all hope at some point the current health crisis will be resolved, and your practice will be operating again. At that time, you may have a need for assistance with adjusting your group benefits package, and we remain at your service: both now and in the future. When your practice opens its physical doors again, some of your employees may have moved on and some may have decided to retire. The right benefits package will help you compete for the best replacement staff and may also help encourage highly experienced staff members nearing retirement to stay with your practice. The right benefits package also plays a vital role in attracting new talent to your practice. When comparing job offers, potential candidates look at more than salary; they see the total value of the benefits package, which can make your job offer more appealing.
