Doctors hope regulatory programs will help fight lower fees and hike in malpractice coverage

The New York Sun has reported that doctors may encounter a hike in malpractice insurance premiums and may receive lower fees from treating Medicare patients.

According to Dr. Michael Rosenberg, the president of the Medical Society of the State of New York, doctors in New York are urging state insurance officials to enact regulatory programs that would offer them financial relief while they wait for legislators to consider ways to change the state's medical malpractice system.

Last year, Governor Spitzer organized a task force charged with making recommendations to fix a "broken" malpractice system, but no recommendations were put forth.
