Program Description
This presentation examines three areas of regulatory and administrative actions: licensing board investigations, medical peer reviews, and federal governmental healthcare claims. A tie binds each of these three categories of claims: they fall under insurance coverage known as either medefense, administrative, or legal coverage provided by your professional liability carrier. We’ll touch on the processes employed by each of these "watch dogs of medicine," related closed claims reviews, and risk reduction strategies. Implementing the risk reduction strategies in this presentation can help reduce the risk of regulatory and administrative claims and better position physicians to defend against them if they arise.
