This is not usual employment discrimination. To continue to practice medicine I must have Malpractice Insurance. The company that I have a contract with states they will not renew my coverage unless I get a physical examination at my expense and they will evaluate same. This is a new rule and applies to all insureds over age 72. Under Hippa Law they have no right to a persons medical file except when granted by the person. Is there a remedy to combat this action. This company has no programs to identify impaired (alcoholics and drug addicts) who can cause more legal actions than those whose birthday has gone past 72.
