Nine DFW clinics are offering drive-thru testing for COVID-19 at no
cost. MD MedicalGroup is offering these nine DFW clinics for testing to further the access for individuals to get the care they need in four different counties in North Texas. They do require that COVID-19 drive-thru patients be screened for flu and strep. “The flu and strep tests will allow us to treat positive cases with antibiotics. We are not only testing, we are also providing treatment to patients that need it.”—Chief Medical Director, Dr. Ana Veronica Rodriguez
Drive-thru testing locations are able to test adults and children, two years and older, while minimizing exposure and reducing demands on hospitals. Clinics will be open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and will be equipped to test 200 individuals daily. They are following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state and other experts to monitor COVID-19.
To ease traffic and wait times appointments are required. Same day appointments are available—call or text us at 1-888-776-5252, Monday to Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm.

A number of physicians are struggling to get appropriate PPE for their healthcare teams due to shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. TCMS has received a small donation of PPE from MedStar and is dispersing it to some of our members that are currently seeing patients daily without appropriate protective gear. Thank you, MedStar, for donating to support physicians at this critical time. We are hoping that we continue to receive PPE donations to protect our community’s healthcare workers. To donate or find out more information, contact us at 817-732-2825.

TMLT policyholders will receive an additional 10 percent premium dividend credited to their accounts. The dividend — approved by the TMLT Board of Governors in an emergency meeting — gives immediate financial relief to TMLT policyholders hit hard by the COVID-19 public health crisis. The dividend will provide policyholders approximately $13 million of additional relief in 2020 premium.
The amount of each policyholder’s dividend will be based on his or her in-force premium amount as of March 1, 2020.
The dividend is designed to help physicians experiencing financial difficulties that come with shelter-in-place orders and directives to postpone procedures. “This is not business as usual,” says TMLT President and CEO Robert Donohoe. “Doctors are wondering how they’re going to stay in business. This dividend can offer some relief to the enormous pressure physicians are now facing.”
The COVID-19 special dividend is in addition to dividends previously declared for TMLT policyholders. The COVID-19 special dividend will be effective immediately and applied to their next premium invoice.
Since TMLT began its dividend program in 2005, TMLT policyholders have saved approximately $329 million.
