Interpreting Malpractice Payment Information
North Carolina Medical Board Public Action associated with a malpractice payment
An important factor to consider when interpreting malpractice payment information is whether the
payment is associated with a public action of the NC Medical Board. The Board reviews the quality
of care associated with every malpractice payment involving a North Carolina licensee. The Board
takes public action when its investigation determines patient care was below accepted and prevailing
standards.
When considering malpractice payment data, please keep in mind:
-
The existence of a payment does not necessarily mean that malpractice has occurred. Nor is a payment
necessarily evidence of incompetence, misconduct or an admission of wrongdoing on the part of the licensee.
-
It often takes years for a malpractice claim to move through the legal and/or liability insurance systems.
The incident that resulted in a payment may have taken place years before the payment was made.
-
Malpractice payment histories vary by area of practice. Some licensees may have a higher-than-average
incidence of malpractice payments because they specialize in treating patients who are at a high risk
for problems.
-
Malpractice insurance companies sometimes settle cases because it is less costly to make a monetary
settlement than it is to defend a case in court. Many times, such cases are settled without a finding
of fault or admission of negligence by the licensee.
