Ingram reassures doctors on malpractice insurance
North Carolina Insurance Commissioner John Ingram said doctors need not cut services for fear of losing malpractice coverage. He cited a state law requiring insurers to sell general liability and malpractice coverage, and warned licenses can be revoked for refusals. The press briefing followed reports of doctors limiting practice to emergencies due to coverage shortages. Ingram noted the pool offers reinsurance and a $1 million per claim limit, with St. Paul Marine and Fire Insurance Co considering changes.
