Medical Professional Liability Verification
Risk Management
The Risk Management team talks to health care providers, gathers information and
submits medical malpractice claims to the WV Board of Risk and Insurance Management
and AIG Claims Services. The staff monitors the costs associated with each medical
malpractice claim, verifies accounting of the escrow account for the deductible
amounts and reports on claims and costs on a regular basis. They also maintain
a database of claims and suits, named defendants and case status to be able to
answer insurance inquiries for WVU health care providers. The Team also deals with subpoenas and outside attorney requests of our providers and will gather information and
help coordinate requests for testimony and depositions. The staff also provides risk management and other educational presentations at the HSC.
