Filed in: Exploring Your Options » Medical Indemnity »
The medical indemnity crisis earlier this decade (which in some cases saw doctors paying more than a third of their income as indemnity premiums) led to the introduction of a number of government schemes aimed at keeping indemnity insurance affordable.
