Peace of mind is a state of health. When a patient walks through those double doors ready to put their care in the hands of professional men and women; there is still some concern that causes them to stress. They are receiving the help they need, but will everything be okay in the end? It’s a concern that every patient has no matter the size of procedure they will be having. A peace of mind is a state of health and that is what Surgical Risk Solutions will be ready to give to you.
Surgical Risk Solutions provides COMPLICATION INSURANCE®, a patent-pending, web-based insurance that provides accidental death and dismemberment coverage to patients. Andrew Kagan is the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Surgical Risk Solutions, LLC. Mr. Kagan was prominent in the formation of Florida Doctors Insurance Company and became Vice President of their Strategic Planning branch.
“When I was in law school I witnessed a trial where the patient threw a clot after surgery. The family sued, but the courts found in favor of the doctor. It was sad on both sides because the family lost everything and I thought to myself that there had to be a better way for everyone,” said Mr. Kagan. “Patients should be able to protect themselves if something goes wrong and with malpractice suits, a patient won’t receive the funds for six months to a year. What are families to do in the meantime?”
Complication Insurance provides patients with the peace of mind that if something were to go wrong after a procedure, they will be covered. “Malpractice relies on negligence,” said Mr. Kagan, “so what happens to the patients family when there is none? Complication Insurance takes some of the pressure off of all parties. Medicine is not perfect and that’s why they call it practicing medicine. Sometimes the patients have reactions that are out of control for everyone. There is no other insurance out there likes this – we don’t rely on fault.”
Patients are not the only ones benefiting from Surgical Risk Solutions. By educating patients of the possible risks and getting them the coverage they need, it also takes the stress off of doctors and hospitals. Patients and doctors will be sharing in the risk, which in turn will help alleviate a lot of malpractice suits. “With the accessibility of patients to purchase this kind of insurance on the Internet and the progressively detailed information about procedures and mortality rates as well as risks, patients will be able to get the education they need to protect themselves in the long run,” said Mr. Kagan.
