They provide you with the paperwork needed to ensure your patient files are protected from attorneys attempting to attack you on some legal technicality. As a participant in the Allied “Elite” program, doctors utilize an arbitration agreement and informed consent form as a standard part of their intake paperwork. This effectively takes doctors out of the line of fire of nuisance suits. In fact, this system works so well that participants in the “Elite” program get sued eight times less often than the average in the profession. Good communication with patients is key to limiting your malpractice exposure. That communication needs to be balanced and cover all the bases. The “Elite” program supplemental intake paperwork does just this, while at the same time meeting all the legal requirements pertinent to your practice. By taking this step with your patients, you begin to build the trust and confidence needed for patient)a lasting relationship. Since 1986, Allied has been working to keep its doctors out of the court room, and attorneys out of the practice of medicine. Allied’s proven approach creates a safe environment for our doctors, so they can better focus on providing quality patient care. By keeping the cost of malpractice insurance down, doctors are able to continue to provide that care affordably.
