Last insurance ‘fix’ hasn’t slashed rates
March 2, 2007

Source: St. Petersburg Times
TALLAHASSEE – Before patients ever see a doctor with Tampa Bay Women’s Care, they sign a two-page waiver giving up their right to file a lawsuit. Disputes about care must go to an arbitration panel. The office with 67 doctors recently began insisting on the waivers to help keep malpractice claims out of court. “We think that (the waivers) will ultimately bring premiums for malpractice insurance down,” said Dr. Robert Yelverton, medical director for Tampa Bay Women’s Care.

While most Floridians are fretting over the latest insurance crisis – property coverage – it’s clear that the last insurance crisis – medical malpractice – never was resolved.
