National Costs of the Medical Liability System
Michelle M. Mello,Amitabh Chandra,Amitabh Chandra,Amitabh Chandra,Atul A. Gawande,David M. Studdert +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the national costs of the medical liability system, including indemnity payments, administrative costs, defensive medicine costs, and lost clinician work time, synthesizing data from a variety of sources, and conclude that although the liability system is costly in absolute terms, because it accounts for only a small proportion (2.4%) of total health care spending, medical liability expenditures cannot be the main or even one of the most important, drivers of rising health care costs.
