Doctors May Sign Far-Reaching Malpractice Waivers
A Los Angeles County Medical Association spokesman notes plans under study by physicians and hospitals to require arbitration or waivers as a condition for accepting cases, aimed at reducing malpractice insurance costs that top $7,500 to $12,000 for high risk specialties and about $5,000 for the county’s 7,000 doctors. The plan would involve arbitration and signed agreements before case acceptance, with fears of limiting access to care amid rising premiums and one year discovery rules. Mobility of California residents and high local rates contribute to the problem, prompting debate over doctor patient relations and cost containment.
