It’s getting about time these Malpractice Insurance companies as well as insurance companies such as United Concordia and Guardian answer some questions. I just have three:
1. Why are you knowingly ( and you damn well know it) providing malpractice insurance to illegal operations?
Has no one in the Insurance company ever questioned why they are selling malpractice insurance to a company with 500 dentists working for it? The fact you do it, means you know it.
Yet, when malpractice cases come a callin’ you don’t want to pay up. But you damn well didn’t mind to take the premiums all these years, now did you?
2. Why are you sending patients to dentists who are practicing dentistry illegally?
It’s beyond me why I pay a weekly (however minimum) premium for dental coverage through employment. I am covered with Guardian. I find the name alone highly misleading, since guarding is not even near the top of their to do list.
I recently did a 50 mile radius search of providers on their website for myself. I was excited to see there were four pages -triple columns- listing a 103 dentists in my area. Then I actually read them.
