Defend your ASC with the strength of Medical Protective

Medical Protective, the medmal leader, is now writing stand-alone Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs)–along with associated physicians. Our approach streamlines your medmal coverage and the claims process by issuing one policy for both your ASC and your physicians. Highlights of the program include pricing incentives for the ASC based on the percentage of physicians who are insured by Medical Protective.
 
Good for Patients
Patient satisfaction with ASCs is a remarkable 98 percent. This is due to a wide range of factors, including:
• Personalized care
• Lower costs
• Comfortable environment
• Easier accessibility and parking
 
In fact, a 2004 study of ASCs found that during a three-month period:
• 40% did not have a single complication per 1000 patients
• 52% did not transfer a single patient to a hospital
• Nearly 90% reported 3 or fewer infections per 1000 patients
• More than a third of ASCs report that at least 90% of their procedures begin within 7 minutes of their scheduled time.
 
 
Good for Physicians
From the beginning, ASCs have had an extremely high rate of physician ownership. In addition to the financial advantages, physicians have more direct control over their practices and their schedules. They can design the facilities to meet their needs. They can invest in state-of-the-art equipment and technologies. They can work in a comfortable environment with efficient operations. And they can offer their patients a specialized staff that is highly trained in their procedures.
