Legal Expertise and Financial Support for the Challenges the CMPA Doesn’t Cover
Recommended by Your Colleague, Designed for Healthcare Professionals Like You
Your colleague recognized something important: as a physician, your legal protection has critical gaps. While the CMPA provides essential protection for patient care issues, its support is focused mainly on medical negligence or malpractice, leaving you exposed to a wide range of legal challenges that fall outside their mandate.
Where Are You Left Vulnerable?
-
Professional Conduct: Regulatory investigations, complaints about discipline, workplace behaviour, or disputes with colleagues typically fall outside CMPA assistance.
-
Administrative Matters: Issues related to billing practices, record-keeping, or regulatory compliance are often excluded.
-
Personal Issues: Legal challenges unrelated to patient care, such as tax disputes or employment conflicts are not covered.
DefenseMD: Created by Physicians, for Physicians
Recognizing these critical gaps, DefenseMD was founded by physicians who understand the real-world legal risks you face. Our membership-based organization provides:
-
Legal Expense Coverage up to $50,000 for both professional challenges (regulatory investigations, disciplinary inquiries) and personal matters (consumer disputes, tax audits, employment conflicts). *
-
Unlimited Access to a Legal Helpline offering expert legal advice whenever you need it, from document reviews to dispute guidance.
-
Educational Resources including webinars, workshops, and conferences designed to help physicians minimize litigation risks.
