Malpractice Rates Falling

  • Florida's medical malpractice insurance premiums fell for the 5th consecutive year. But, apparently, Florida dentists saw their malpractice rates rise by 4.61 percent, and podiatrists, optometrists and chiropractors saw a 3.65 percent rate hike. So here is what I want to know: exactly how much are these health care providers being charged and how many successful claims have been brought against them? In Montana, there has been only one lawsuit against a podiatrist or a dentist in the last 10 years. Florida is a bigger and more friendly plaintiffs' jurisdiction, as any plaintiffs' lawyer will tell you. But, still, I would love to compare Florida claims with the rates they are paying. Here is a guess: the word "administrative cost" will loom large.
