NJOS is pleased to announce the approval of exclusive discounts for its members. The discounts are offered by MDAdvantage of New Jersey, and will be offered to current insureds and new applicants who meet their underwriting criteria.
The discounts are significant:
12.5% for Orthopaedic surgeons - Excluding spine; Orthopaedics – Office and Surgical
Assisting – Excluding spine; and Orthopaedics – Office only
7.5% for Orthopaedic surgeons - Including spine or Assisting in spine surgery
Most full-time Orthopaedic Surgeons (No-Spine) would qualify for a discount of $4,939 to $9,685 per year, with a majority of the Surgeons receiving a discount of $6,586 per year. The discount dollar amounts are based on the current premiums being paid by the Surgeons. Discounts are applicable to both Permanent Protection and Claims-made policies.
The above discounts are in addition to other discounts applicable to your policy, such as Risk Management (including EMR – Electronic Medical Records, EPW – Electronic Prescription Writer), Part-time, and New Doctor discounts.
The work of the Alliance benefits all orthopaedic surgeons – putting us front and center on critical advocacy issues facing you and your practice: PIP reimbursement, out of network billing, ambulatory surgery center licensure, insurance fraud legislation. OSNJ is recognized statewide for its quality legal and lobbying counsel and our membership has benefited significantly from their expertise.
In order to qualify for the above discounts, physicians must be current members of NJOS. If you are not an NJOS Member, you can submit your application today by printing and completing our Membership Application. Physicians must also join the OSNJ Medical Liability Insurance Purchasing Alliance, Inc. The Alliance was created in accordance with State rules and has submitted a formal filing for the discounts with the New Jersey Department of Banking & Insurance.
