Medical Malpractice Information
Indicate your malpractice insurance carrier:
 
Indicate the medical malpractice payments that have been made by you or on your behalf within the past ten years.
Some studies have shown that there is no significant correlation between malpractice history and a physician’s competence. At the same time, consumers should have access to malpractice information. This profile contains information about the malpractice payment history of the physician. Payment amounts have been placed into three statistical categories: below average, average and above average. To make the best health care decisions, you should view this information in perspective. You could miss an opportunity for high quality care by selecting a doctor based solely on malpractice history.

When considering malpractice data, please keep in mind:

  • Malpractice histories tend to vary by specialty. Some specialties are more likely than others to be the subject of litigation. This report compares physicians only to the members of their specialty, not all physicians, in order to make an individual physician’s history more meaningful.
  • This malpractice information reflects data for the last 10 years of the physician’s practice. For physicians practicing less than 10 years, the data covers their total years of practice. You should take into account how long the doctor has been in practice when considering malpractice averages.
  • The incident causing the malpractice claim may have happened years before payment is finally made. Sometimes it takes a long time for a malpractice lawsuit to move through the legal system.
  • Some physicians work primarily with high-risk patients. These physicians may have malpractice histories that are higher than average because they specialize in cases or patients who are at very high risk of problems.
  • Settlement of a claim may occur for a variety of reasons that do not necessarily reflect negatively on the professional competence or conduct of the physician. A payment in settlement of a medical malpractice action or claim should not be construed as creating a presumption that medical malpractice has occurred. For example, an insurer may choose to settle a case even if the physician opposes such settlement.

You may wish to discuss the information provided in this report, and malpractice generally, with your physician.
