Doctors to receive lower fees for Medicaid patients but higher malpractice premiums

Fees doctors can receive for treating Medicaid patients have gone down but malpractice premiums may be going up

The New York Sun has reported that Dr. Rosenberg suggested that any increase in malpractice premiums maybe delayed until the legislature acts.

A spokesman for the state's Insurance Department declined to comment, but any rate increase or assessment on doctors is expected to follow a 14% increase in malpractice insurance rates that went into effect last summer.
