An ophthalmologist determined his patient required the attention of a niche specialist. Fortunately, such a qualified specialist practiced next door (literally). Flash forward: The patient was rendered partially blind. And the cherry on top? The specialist next door did not take the patient's insurance. A suit resulted.
Questions abound: How much research is the doctor obligated to perform prior to referring a patient? How can doctors reduce risk to themselves (and their patients) when making a referral? And what are the chances this could happen to you?
This episode of the Medical Liability Minute is sponsored by Physician Wealth Services. Physician Wealth Services is a fee-only financial planning firm devoted to the financial well-being of physicians.
Ryan Inman, founder of PWS and creator and host of the Financial Residency Podcast, developed a sense of responsibility to help physicians with their financial goals after witnessing how vulnerable his wife was to poor financial advice during her residency.
He was shocked at how many advisors tried to take advantage of her and her peers.
Ryan started PWS as a fee-only practice so he could work exclusively with physicians who could benefit from unbiased, quality financial advice.
Working with Ryan is simple and transparent. There are no assets under management fees, no products being sold, or commissions being paid out. Everything is included for a flat monthly fee. The way it should be.
