The Doctors Company

Let us today lean into the data, recognizing its power and its limits, because the quality of the conclusions is only as good as the quality of what you're measuring.

I am grateful that companies like The Doctors Company are sharing their claims data so that we have more meaningful insight into trends.

And I am hopeful that over time, we can build something even more comprehensive.

The physicians most affected by the system deserve more than a floor estimate.

I'm the associate editor of Medical Economics, and I'd like to thank you for joining us today.

In today's episode, Medical Economics Managing Editor Todd Shryock sat down with Robert White, president of The Doctors Company and TDC Group, to talk about the two numbers that define medical malpractice right now, and the fact that they're moving in opposite directions.

Fewer physicians are getting sued than at any point since 1973, roughly 1 in 21 nationally.

But the cases that do get filed have never cost more, and White walks through why falling claims frequency has quietly been holding premiums down, and what happens when it stops falling.

All right, Todd.

It's my pleasure.

Once again, that was a conversation between Medical Economics Managing Editor Todd Shryock and Robert White, President of The Doctors Company and TDC Group.
