N.Y. Doctors Could See $50,000 Fee
in response to reader comment: Disaster in medicine will hit all patients on July 1

This downward spiral just keeps getitng worse, and physicians are going to get stuck with another huge bill. Would it surprise you to know that a solution has been around since October 2006? Have you heard about the Risk Retention Group that is saving physicians money, and giving them security ... NOW. There are physicians across New York State saving over 60% on their med mal premiums, AND protecting their business from these volatile increases and assessments. The JM Woodowrth RRG may be a great option for you. A doctor owned group that wants to help physicians with good loss histories benefit form their hard work ... and stop paying for the few that have the majority of claims. Do yourself and your practice a big favor and find out about this group. Others are, and are glad they did!
