Welcome to a brand-new year! As you think about the year ahead and what you plan to accomplish, keep this in mind: you’re not alone in your journey. You might create a list of sources of inspiration and support that you can go to, from email newsletters, books, and podcasts to courses. If you do, consider adding TDA Perks Program.
The Perks Program offers quality resources and personal assistance you may not realize are available to you. Here are three top things TDA Perks can help you with in 2026 and beyond.
Keeping a Pulse on Practice Management
Since you’re reading this, you’re probably familiar with Perks’ monthly compliance, HR, and risk management articles. Maybe you’ve watched some of our educational webinars and short partner videos with information on commercial real estate, insurance, and other topics. If so, we hope you continue to gain insights that help you in your day-to-day. If not, we hope you take a moment to skim the content and find something useful to you!
Making Important Connections—Or Just Connecting
TDA Perks hosts several social and networking events annually that can lead to making a key business connection or new friends.
If you’re thinking about buying, starting, or selling a practice, TDA Perks hosts a Meet Up and Mingle (MUM) networking and social event each quarter in Dallas and Houston metro areas as well as other cities. The free events are opportunities for TDA members to enjoy complimentary food and a beverage while meeting representatives from TDA Perks-endorsed partners who can answer their questions. Keep an eye on Perks newsletters to see if one is coming to your neighborhood in 2026.
If you’re headed to San Antonio this May for the TDA Meeting, come to the TDA Tropical Tiki Party Thursday evening, where you can enjoy complimentary appetizers and a free drink! (Your meeting badge entitles you to a free-drink ticket.) Once again, TDA Perks is sponsoring the annual event, and we hope you join us!
Finding Health, Practice, or Personal Coverages That Make Sense For You
Did you know TDA has its own member-owned insurance agency?
Many of your colleagues are taking advantage of personal assistance in finding a PPO plan through small group plans or CapCare—a healthcare member benefits program available year-round to W2 employees, 1099 contractors, and dental practice employers with employees; and other health coverages.
TDA Financial Services Insurance Program can also help you with professional liability coverages through MedPro Group, workers’ comp, business owner’s policy; and personal coverages like disability, term life, long term care, and more.
For help with coverages, please call (800) 677-8644.
Do you know a Texas dental student? TDA Perks hosts lunch and learns at all the Texas dental schools to educate D3 and D4s on the complimentary student disability coverage it provides them and on MedPro Group’s professional liability coverage, available through TDA Financial Services Insurance Program. If you’d like to share this information with students, please contact Donovan Osio at dosio@tda.org.
Want Someone to Help You Find Your Way Through Your Perks?
You can schedule a 15-minute session with Josh Epstein, who can walk you through resources, point you to TDA Perks Program’s endorsed programs (reviewed and vetted by a volunteer board of your TDA-member peers) that your practice could benefit from, and answer questions.
TDA Perks Program’s partners are happy to jump on a call with you to answer questions about their products and services, too. Download a complete list of programs or browse this website to learn more about each of them.
