Medical Professional Liability Covers all amounts the University is legally obligated to pay as a result of malpractice injury caused by an occurrence arising out of the treatment of patients. Coverage extends to employees, students, volunteers and others while acting within the scope of their duties for the University. How To Submit a Claim Physicians, nurses and other health care professionals must report incidents to the Medical Center Risk Management Office for investigation. A patient, or member of a patient's family, should be referred to the Medical Center Risk Management Office if they express a concern regarding their treatment. If a law suit is received, it must be immediately submitted to the Health Systems Legal Office. All calls from outside agencies or persons concerning malpractice insurance or incidents should be forwarded to the Medical Center Risk Management Office for handling. |
