While it can be easy to view all insurance covers as one-and-the-same, each insurance policy provides different levels of cover and every insurer responds with different levels of service to support you in the event of a claim.In the event of a claim, some key things that you are likely to consider are:
The risks outside your practice door
Imagine… a regular patient leaves your practice on a drizzly and dark winter’s night and slips where water has pooled, sustaining a serious injury, and in addition aggravating the condition you have been providing care for. Not only do you lose a loyal customer, they turn around and sue you for negligence.
Instilling confidence and giving fair warning
As a trained health professional, you have confidence in your ability to provide quality clinical care to your patients and see the positive results of your intervention on a regular basis. However, you also would know that there are no guarantees in life and that responses to your care can vary from person to person. Finding the right balance between showing confidence in your approach to a patient’s care and giving fair warning of any risks likely to be associated with that care, is the first step to obtaining informed consent from your patients.
Do I need my own cover?
Is professional indemnity (PI) insurance cover best held by the employer or the individual practitioner?
Guild Insurance provides cover on an individual practitioner basis as we view this as the best way for chiropractors to meet their PI insurance requirements.
Staying cool, calm and collected in a sticky situation
By Nevena Brown and Claudine Watson-Kyme, Meridian Lawyers – on behalf of Guild Insurance
You adjust the thoracic spine of a client and hear an abnormal “thud”. The client indicates immediate pain in the area you just attempted to adjust. Your immediate thought process is “have I just broken a rib?” or “I think I just broke a rib”. How are you best to respond in this situation?
Fracturing a rib during a chiropractic adjustment is fortunately, a rare but certainly not unheard of complication of treatment. The description of an “abnormal thud” and the report of immediate pain should raise a red flag for practitioners.
