Why Your Health Insurance May Need a Boost

There are many risks in everyday life. That’s why we have insurance protection. And most physicians view certain types of insurance as absolutely essential. Health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance are some examples.

Though you likely view health insurance as vitally important, does it offer the same benefits and level of financial protection that it once did? Many physicians will agree: the fabric of health insurance has frayed, and today, they must share the ever-growing costs of health care with their health insurance provider.

If a serious illness should affect you, you will likely have many medical and non-medical expenses to pay. This is why TMA Insurance Trust is offering members under age 65 the TMA Member Critical Illness Insurance Plan.

How Critical Illness Insurance May Help You

If you should become seriously ill, critical illness insurance benefits are paid directly to you at the time of diagnosis. And this is for the benefit amount you select – up to $250,000 of coverage paid in one lump sum directly to you. The clear advantage of this type of coverage is that you can use the funds as you see fit: you may choose to offset your high deductibles, copays, and any other out-of-pocket medical costs. You could even use the benefits for non-medical expenses like hotel stays near specialized medical facilities, airfare, and replacing lost wages.
