Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 I just got notice that my insurance carrier is dropping acupuncture from their offerings and my broker will start using AIG which is suppose to be more expensive. Anyone have any suggestions for cheap / decent malpractice coverage? I know some of the national organizations have some arrangements with carriers, but when I checked in the past, the prices weren't anything to write home about.

They also have smaller amounts available for less, but insurance carrier that I work for require the 1/3 mil, so I get it. The carrier is Lloyd's of London. Thier number is 888-774-2422.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Greetings, The letter from WOods was confusing, however they are going to continue to cover acupuncturists, but the rate is going up 20%. You might want to call your agent. good luck. susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 After I went to China I had a lapse in coverage with them. They refused to re-insure me even though I've never had claims etc... Seemed odd, acupuncture insurance has to be money in the bank for them. Oh wellllll..... On a seperate issue, I'm debating about ASHP in California. My colleagues seem equally divided on whether to do it or not. If any one has an opinion and wants to comment publically or privately let me know... doug , SusFro@A... wrote: > Greetings, > > The letter from WOods was confusing, however they are going to continue to > cover acupuncturists, but the rate is going up 20%.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hi Doug- I have been with ASHP for almost 3 years. I probably have had about 10 patients from this source. Some of these 10 patients have referred a spouse or friend, sooooo in that sense it is worth it. Their paper work is really a pain... and it has to be done frequently... on their forms, which change like every 6 months. I have found on *any* treatment plan they have reduced it by 1/2, and gave it some code or another about not enough supporting information. The positive thing is they do pay rather quickly... in general their provider services is really fast and efficient. I always get my approval documents faxed back within 24 hours... and always get paid within about 1 - 2 weeks.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Hi Doug and everyone interested, At PCOM San Diego, there will likely be some forums to discuss new Work's Comp revisions, how these are limiting chiropractor visits in 2004, and how some chiropractors are looking to acupuncturists to reduce their shortfall, without fairly compensating us. The topic of ASHP is another one to add to the list of forums. I'll add this to the PCOM alumni website. If anyone is interested in attending these forums, you may contact me. wrote: On a seperate issue, I'm debating about ASHP in California.
