General Counseling and Advice
The lawyers at KML have been providing counseling and advice to healthcare
providers for years. We regularly draft and review all types of vendor and
service provider contracts, as well as transfer agreements, physician
agreements and employment related agreements including non-compete
covenants. We also work closely with healthcare providers on issues ranging
from insurance and employee benefits to worker’s compensation issues. KML
provides legal advice and counseling regarding medical issues such as
informed consent, do not resuscitate orders, abuse reports and other
patient care issues. We provide assistance in responding to third party
subpoenas and similar requests for information. Our broad range of
experience gives our clients the advantage of an “on call” attorney or
in-house counsel, usually available to only larger hospitals.
Health Claim Coverage
Today, many Texas
hospitals are choosing to reduce their insurance costs for health care
liability and worker’s compensation while exercising more control over
their risk. If your facility has considered this greatly improved method to
manage and finance medical liability risks, we can help. By introducing
self-insured systems, hospitals can purchase less expensive umbrella
insurance coverage's and use their own risk-management and income producing
trust funds to cover routine losses. KML can help you explore these
options. Our attorneys recently implemented just such a program for a large
not-for-profit North Texas hospital,
allowing them to reduce their insurance costs and almost eliminate workers
compensation claims.
