What is ISMIE Mutual doing to counteract the medical liability crisis?
- Through our Reality Medicine campaign, we provide materials to help you raise patient awareness of “physician flight” and the need for caps on non-economic damage awards.
- We meet with editorial boards to apprise them of the issues. Our letters to the editor and favorable editorials are published with regularity in newspapers across the state.
- With ISMS, we work to advance patient- and physician-friendly legislation at the state and federal levels.
- To help keep you informed, we travel to hospitals across Illinois to answer your questions and address your concerns at your medical staff meetings.
- We provide innovative programs such as “Risk Rewards”, as well as seminars to assist you with protecting your personal assets.
- We never back down from plaintiff lawyer-backed “consumer rights” groups and other adversaries who blame physicians and insurance companies for the current crisis. This is part of their effort to divert attention from the goal of meaningful tort reform.
