Dear Colleagues,
 
Re: Medical Indemnity Pollicy
The long cherished dream of Medical Indemnity Policy of our own has come true. After prolonged negotiation with Insurance Companies we have evolved a policy for our members and their hospitals against litigation's. It has always been a difficult task dealing with day to day practice and worry about litigations most of the times frivolous taking our valuable time in legal advice and courts. FOGSI decided to take this on and share your responsibity with policy has cleared by the Managing Comittee of FOGSI and we hope all of you will of this facility.

The salient features of the policy are:
a)
As soon as you are served a notice you have to forward it to FOGSI office along with case papers. FOGSI will then forward it to the Insurance Company.
b)
A Comittee of seven people comprising of three from FOGSI, one solicitor and three from Insurance Company will decide how to deal with it and the best of lawyers appointed by Committee will represent you at your court with medical support from Zonal Committee of FOGSI. The Committee can also decide whether to contest or settle the claim.
c)
All litigation including criminal will be dealt with. If a member is found criminally guilty and liabel for a fine, then the fine alongwith the legal bill will have to paid by the member. If not found guilty criminally all the expenses will be borne by the Insurance Company.
d)
The polices are designed for 20 lacs and 40 lacs cover. You can choose whichever as per your needs.
 
e)
There are various categories of policy:
 

(1) Individual FOGSI members operating at different hospitals.
(2) Resident doctors.
(3) Individual FOGSI members working in their own hospitals along with Hospital       indeminity covers
(4) Individual FOGSI members who render Medical Services in other hospital plus hospital indemnity for 10,20,30,40 beds.
