If you ask most independent practice owners, chances are they will tell you that owning a medical practice can be immensely rewarding – but also very challenging.
On the one hand, you have the freedom to practice medicine on your own terms. But you also have an added layer of responsibilities. You are not only responsible for the care of your patients, but you must also look out for the welfare of those who work beside you every day.
So if for some reason you were not able to go to work – if you were ill or unexpectedly injured – that could have significant financial ramifications for you, for your staff and for your practice.
On top of that, what would happen to your personal finances? How would you and your family get by if you were unable to work for an extended period of time?
Insurance Protection For Your Income And Your Practice
At TMA Insurance Trust we honor your independent spirit and commitment to help others. And we want to help you protect what you have worked so hard to build.
We therefore offer two kinds of insurance coverage for independent practice owners – one to help protect your personal income and one to help keep your practice up and running if you cannot work because of illness or injury.
To help make it easier for you to obtain both of these types of coverage The TMA Insurance Trust is providing a significant savings opportunity.

We Get to Say Thank You – You Get to Pay 25% Less
We are currently providing a 25% Thank You Credit to anyone who enrolls in the TMA Member Long Term Disability Insurance Plan (LTD) – issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America.
The credit is equal to 25% of your insurance premiums. That means your premium payments will be 25% lower* – which could effectively save you thousands of dollars over the life of the policy.
This is our way of saying “Thank You” for all you do to help others and to show our appreciation and support for you as a TMA member.
Insurance Protection With Affordable Rates
The TMA Member Long Term Disability Plan is designed to provide attractive rates for quality disability insurance from a national carrier. And now with our 25% Thank You Credit it can be even more affordable.
The application process for The TMA Member Long Term Disability Plan is quick and simple. TMA members under age 50 can apply for a benefit of up to $10,000/month with simplified underwriting and benefits of up to $15,000/month are available with full underwriting.
In addition, even if you have long term disability insurance from another carrier, you can get a benefit of up to $4,000/month – regardless of any benefit you receive from another plan. So if your income and family have grown since you obtained that coverage you might want to supplement your current plan to give your finances and your family added insurance protection.

- 25% Thank You Credit – Lowers premium payments by 25%
- Quick and simple application

Important Insurance Protection For Your Practice
While disability insurance can help protect your personal income, The TMA Member Business Overhead Expense Plan is designed to help protect your practice if you cannot work due to illness or injury.
During your absence it can help pay for rent, employee salaries, taxes, utilities, office supplies, and more. It can even help pay for the cost of a locum tenens physician to cover for you while you recuperate.
The TMA Member Business Overhead Expense Plan can also help protect your personal finances, because it allows you to use your disability insurance benefits for what they were intended – to help replace your personal income and support your family’s quality of life. Plus, it can also help you avoid having to tap into your personal savings or retirement funds to cover the expenses of your practice.
A Valuable BOE Plan From a Top Carrier
The TMA Member Business Overhead Expense Plan offers features you may not find in other plans from top-rated carriers. Highlights of the plan include:
- Up to $50,000 in monthly benefits - Generous benefits will help cover the ongoing expenses of your practice.
- Long payment of benefits – Benefits paid for up to 24 months. If you are under age 70, you may be able to extend some benefit payments for up to a total of 36 months. Speak with a TMA Insurance Trust advisor for more details.
- You are paid for the waiting period – The first payment is made retroactively after you have been disabled for 30 consecutive days.
- You do not pay while you’re disabled – Your premium payments are waived while you are disabled so there is no cost to you while receiving benefits.
