MALPRACTICE COVERAGE All BWH and MGH physicians are required to maintain professional liability insurance coverage once granted clinical privileges. House Officers are enrolled in the Controlled Risk Insurance Company, Ltd. (CRICO) malpractice insurance program as part of the credentialing process. CRICO was formed in 1976 by the Harvard affiliated medical institutions to underwrite medical malpractice and general liability insurance for themselves and doctors closely affiliated with the institutions. Both physicians and non-physician employees are covered under the program for claims arising from activities within the scope of their employment. The agent for CRICO is the Risk Management Foundation. Note: The CRICO program requires that physicians report incidents and claims to the hospital's Risk Manager at BWH (617-732-6442) or MGH (617-726-2111). |
