I was not interested in what Texas has done. I was interested in the cost of malpractice insurance for persons employed by or working under contract at your facility. It is interesting that your malpractice insurance costs is only 1% of gross revenue. But, that doesn't give a picture of how many physicians are on staff and what their average malpractice insurance costs. What is the total number of staff physicians, total number of contract physicians and total number of physicians who have admitting privileges at your facility. What I would like to know is whether your contract physicians and physicians with admitting privileges have to pay, out of their own pocket, for malpractice insurance to cover your facility while practicing in your facility.
