Addresses steeply rising medical insurance premiums
WELLINGTON, Fla., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Quantum Group
(Amex: QGP) ( http://www.QuantumMD.com ) has announced that subsidiary company,
The Quantum Agency, Inc., has added a new insurance product to address
steeply rising medical insurance premiums for physicians -- Medical Legal
Expense Reimbursement Insurance.
The new Medical Legal Expense Reimbursement insurance coverage offered
through The Quantum Agency (TQA) is targeted for physicians who have chosen
not to carry standard professional liability insurance (i.e. malpractice
insurance) or who have indemnification of liability from other sources.
This coverage provides legal reimbursement, which can help protect a
physician's assets without being cost prohibitive.
Noel J. Guillama, President & CEO of The Quantum Group, noted that an
increasing number of physicians are choosing to go "bare," or without
coverage, due to the high costs associated with carrying professional
liability insurance. Guillama commented, "Many of the providers affiliated
with Renaissance Health Systems, a Quantum subsidiary company, have talked
with us about the difficulty they have in obtaining malpractice insurance,
particularly due to the high costs associated with this coverage. The
mission of The Quantum Group of Companies is to provide cost effective and
efficient solutions for healthcare providers. We believe this product meets
the high standards we have set for our services and solutions and takes aim
at the inherent risks physicians take by operating without coverage --
including loss of personal assets and even their professional reputation."
Highlights of the Medical Legal Expense Reimbursement insurance
coverage include reimbursement for legal expenses incurred for a medical
malpractice claim against the provider, a peer review proceeding, a license
review board proceeding and hospital privileges. Available coverage limits
run from $100,000 to $500,000, and the insured can select whether they
would like to use their own counsel. Healthcare providers seeking
additional information on the premiums, deductibles and available limits
are encouraged to contact The Quantum Agency at 877.634.6748 or via
http://www.TheQuantumAgency.com .
