Understanding managed care organizations' liability exposure.
Managed care organizations can minimize their liability exposures by staying informed about industry changes and by implementing a comprehensive risk management program. Typically, managed care organizations face three general exposure areas: directors and officers liability (e.g., exposures associated with nonclinical aspects of an organization); errors and omissions (e.g., exposures involving the day-to-day operations of managing the health care received by an organization's members); and financial loss, or provider excess (e.g., exposures that occur when certain catastrophic events expose the organization to financial peril).
