Malpractice premiums decline nationwide after reform
Premiums for medical malpractice insurance have fallen 5 to 35 percent in several states as lawsuits tighten and doctors adopt safer practices. Doctor owned firms like Medical Liability Mutual Insurance Co and St Paul Fire & Marine cut rates, while reforms curb damages and boost risk management. A national database tracks doctors with malpractice outcomes, and Kansas cut premiums 25 percent last July.
