Frequently Asked Questions
-
Relatively easy! Talk to one of our experts, submit your application and receive a quote customized for your practice needs.
If nothing changes but the insurance carrier, the replacing carrier will most likely (subject to underwriting) pick up the previous policy's retroactive date and coverage will continue uninterrupted, as will enrollment in the Louisiana Patient's Compensation Fund. This is known as “prior acts' coverage” and transfers the previous liability exposure for unknown incidents to the new carrier.
Yes. The attorneys who defend the open claim rarely, if ever, know whether the physician is still insured with that carrier. The carrier is contractually obligated to vigorously defend claims to conclusion, and the attorneys are compensated the same either way. The carrier has the risk for the loss; consequently, it is in their best interest to keep the claim cost as low as possible.
In short — yes! At LHA Trust Funds, we understand that your medical malpractice coverage needs are as unique as your practice. That's why our team of expert consultants is ready to work closely with you to create a customized plan that fits your needs.
