Keep risk management efforts aggressive
Dear Jim: Due to what our broker calls a “soft market”, we saw a small increase when we just renewed our medical malpractice insurance. Continued premium increases have caused our doctors a great deal of stress, so a little relief would help. Could you tell me, what is happening to the various risk retention groups around the country? Many of our doctors joined them because of increasing rates. Do the doctors now go back to the conventional market? We have developed good relationships with many of the captives and often collaborate with them on incidents. What have you seen?
