Medical Liability Insurance Purchasing Alliance (MLIPA)

Most full-time Orthopaedic Surgeons  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. NJOS 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  Membership Application today. 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.
