Lawsuits against gastroenterologists tend to include: malignant neoplasms of the colon and rectum abdominal and pelvic symptoms regional enteritis colitis malignant neoplasms of the stomach Errors in diagnosing stomach, colon, and rectal cancers have historically resulted in the highest average indemnity payouts to patients. While a recent American Medical Association study reports that only 1% of all paid medical malpractice claims are attributed to gastroenterologists, even the most careful and skillful gastroenterologist will likely have complications that could potentially result in a malpractice lawsuit. Transparent patient communication combined with thorough documentation and record keeping will help gastroenterologists reduce their risk of a malpractice claim. The right medical malpractice policy will also shield you in the event of a lawsuit. Malpractice insurance offers gastroenterologists protection from: Monetary damages awarded to the plaintiff Attorney’s fees Though many (not all) states have no legal requirement for gastroenterologists to carry malpractice insurance, most hospitals require it if you want admitting privileges.
