Quote from Raven
I am deathly afraid of getting sued and getting reported to the NPDB (National Provider Data Base). Can someone explain to me the repercussions of being reported? Maybe its not as bad as it seems but I picture it as a permanent strike against you. Kind of like playing baseball but every time you’re up to bat they automatically give you one strike…or is it worse than that?
For example, will your malpractice insurance premiums automatically go up? Will your malpractice insurance provider drop you? If that happens, can you get coverage from another provider? Will you still be able to renew your state license? What if you want to change jobs/states? Will a new employer still hire you? Will a new state board still give you a license? What if you get reported more than once? Thanks. I know this is a lot of questions.
I recommend you to drop mammo completely.
Even if it is not lawsuit, you will receive a few letters a year complaining about the quality of your service, the delay in your service, the reason that you biopsied or did not biopsy a lesion, etc.
