ACOs and Liability Risks for Physicians

Accountable care organizations (ACOs), in which providers partner up to improve care quality while reducing costs are cropping up across the country and many physicians are considering participating in them.

In this podcast, Jeff Brunken, president of physician insurer MGIS, shares what ACO-related liability issues physicians need to be aware of, and how physicians can make sure they are adequately covered.
