Physician Advocacy Program 2023

The Physician Advocacy Program (“PAP”) is a flat-fee prepaid legal service that provides legal representation for services that are not otherwise covered by the physicians malpractice insurance policy. April 15th deadline.

The PAP is designed to work seamlessly with any administrative coverage offered by a provider’s malpractice insurance company, and, subject to the details and scope of each of the above plans, will provide legal representation for services not other­ wise covered by the provider’s malpractice insur­ance policy. Should additional services be required that are not covered by the provider’s malpractice insurance or included as part of the PAP, Weiss Zarett Brofman Sonnenklar & Levy, P.C., will under­ take to provide such representation at its then current rates.
