Abstract:

During the last medical malpractice insurance crisis, many U.S. physicians faced significant problems
with medical malpractice liability insurance. Despite these well known problems, little is known about
how this crisis affected access to and delivery of care. Physicians practicing in New Jersey were surveyed
regarding changes in health care delivery by service type and specialty, perceived changes in medical
malpractice premiums, and the effect of these changes in premiums on physicians’ perceptions of service
delivery and practice satisfaction. These physicians’ perceptions had a major impact on the availability
and delivery of health care services in the state.
