If The Government Puts A Cap On Medical Malpractice Insurance And Law Suites, Would That Drive Costs Down?

Question by Doug favors universal insurance! | Posted in Law & Ethics

If the government puts a cap on medical malpractice insurance and law suites, would that drive costs down? How ethical would it be, and do you think the Democrats and Republicans would let such a bill pass? No hate answers please and this question will be put to a vote. Thanks in advance for answering..

Answer: I thought some states already had a cap. We voted on that issue in Nevada years ago and it did not lower medical costs at all. It did bring out the worst of the worst doctors in the city. We have some horrible clinics, doctors and to top it off health inspectors. An entire clinic of thousands of people were exposed to Hepatitis C last year. My mother and several other seniors had fake surgeries where they went under anesthesia and woke up, told the surgery was successful only to find out 6 months later nothing was ever done. Doctors from all practices refuse to turn over medical records. I think the malpractice caps are a big farse designed to protect insurance companies and gives some

When A Doctor Works Only At A Hospital, Does The Doctor Usually Have His Own Medical Malpractice Insurance?

Question by Jordan X | Posted in Insurance

I'm happy with generalities, but if anyone has info specific to NY, that'd be helpful. I am curious really about two things: (1) Do doctors typically carry separate insurance beyond what is covered under the hospital's insurance policy? (2) Does the hospital provide a separate policy for each individual doctor or clinic, or is it one big pool for the whole hospital?

I am aware of a situation in which a hospital's insurance is about to be expended, but there are ongoing claims against individual doctors.

Answer: If the doctor is an employee of the hospital, they do not have their own coverage. If they are NOT an employee of the hospital, they do have their own coverage.

The hospital has their own malpractice policy, which includes blanket coverage for all employees - so one pool for the whole hospital.

Medical Malpractice Insurance. Anyone Know The Truth About The Average Percentage On Their Incomes Doctors?

Question by Serge A. Storms | Posted in Other - Health

for mailpractice insurance. I hear everything from 1/2% to Pres. Bush saying doctors can't afford to practice their "love" and are quitting.

Answer: Doctors are not leaving the field because of malpractice premiums, they are leaving because government reimbursement for heathcare is less than the cost to provide the service. Costs for employees and supplies rise every year and the government decreases reimbursement every year.

How Much Does An Ob/Gyn Pay For Medical Malpractice Insurance?

Question by Razia Gupta | Posted in Insurance


Answer: It's not like every ob/gyn pays the same exact rate in the entire nation! It depends on a huge variety of factors.

I can tell you, though, that of all the medical fields, ob/gyns pay the HIGHEST med mal rates. That's because when it comes to a dead baby and a jury, it doesn't matter if the doctor did something wrong or not, that jury is going to order a policy limit payout.

Insurance benefit, Medicare pays for physical therapy as a component of skilled nursing care, in either the acute care setting or in a post-hospital skilled nursing facility. Once a patient qualifies, Medicare bears all expenses of the skilled nursing facility, including the patient’s custodial care and room and board (custodial care is not otherwise covered by Medicare). Upon satisfaction of those requirements, Medicare will pay for 100 days of skilled nursing care per-patient per-illness period – though after the first 20 days a co-payment of 20% is required of the patient. A physician must order procedures for the patient that are appropriate to be performed only in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), such as rehabilitative therapy, and must certify that the patient’s condition is such that he or she can practically......
