Administrative Defense Coverage
Are You Fully Covered?
Malpractice suits aren’t the only reasons why you need good insurance coverage. Administrative actions brought forth by state license boards, managed care organizations, hospitals or healthcare organizations, can financially impact your psychiatric practice. In addition, investigations by federal and state government agencies may also incur high and unexpected costs.
Once these actions have been brought forth, it may be too late to discover that your defense costs are not adequately covered by your current medical malpractice policy. Do you know if you’re ready for such events?
The Psychiatrists’ Program recognizes the severity of these actions by providing enhanced coverage for these needs. The Program’s policy provides both administrative and governmental billing defense coverage.*
Coverage includes legal expenses associated with preparing a legal defense for both administrative and governmental billing and coding error actions. Furthermore, if an action is brought forth, participants have access to a team of experienced defense attorneys who understand the intricacies of mental health practice.
In this rapidly changing environment, The Program works with you to ensure that your practice is fully covered.
