Principal
EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants
As a Principal of EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants, Teddy Gillen leads a team that delivers custom solutions to clients in the healthcare industry. Teddy says, “It has never been more important to work with an insurance broker who specializes in health care. Shock malpractice verdicts, increased class action lawsuits against directors and officers, natural disasters, and daily cyber-attacks are driving insurance terms and conditions into an ever-increasing hard market.” In his spare time, Teddy enjoys rating golf courses with GOLFWEEK Magazine as subsidiary of USA Today.
The fact that this topic is even necessary to discuss is a testimonial about how far medicine has sunk as a learned profession. Physicians did not go to medical school to learn how to become doctors or insurance experts. Physicians can’t stop cyber attacks any more than governments can. So why are physicians the ones coming under scrutiny for this. Ultimately no physician or group of physicians can afford to hire all of the expertise that is demanded to defend themselves against the attacks coming at them from all directions. As a result physicians have abandoned private practice, and hope that hospitals that employ them will also protect them. But hospitals are no better equipped than physicians to defend against these threats. They just have deeper pockets for now. But with declining medicare and medicaid reimbursements all of these additional requirements and expenses cause them to devote more money to non clinical care. That is to the detriment of patients. So, hospitals hire more experts, and less clinical staff. Therefore, medical care continues to decline in quality. This is just a sad day for US medicine.
