OMA INSURANCE RATE INCREASE

Recently you received a notification from the OMA about a significant rate increase on OMA Disability Insurance. 

Below are the facts.

  • OMA DISABILITY INSURANCE
    In 2010, the OMA rebated 45% of the premium on group disability insurance.
    This rebate was eliminated in 2017 and rates are now increasing – on average 22%.
  • OMA LIFE INSURANCE
    In 2010, the OMA rebated 65% of the premium on group term life insurance.
    This rebate was reduced to 20% in 2020 which means your cost increased.

Understandably, these cost increases have made some physicians uncomfortable especially during a pandemic. You deserve better. We have negotiated an option to replace your OMA insurance with individually owned RBC Insurance with guaranteed rates and policy provisions.
