Liability and managed care. American Academy of Pediatrics, Committee on Medical Liability

This statement is intended to inform practitioners of the liability issues arising from managed care arrangements. Although it is not possible for pediatricians to completely insulate themselves from all liability in these areas, this statement offers a number of strategies to decrease the chances of being successfully sued. However, because case law within this realm is constantly evolving in each state, these serve only as guidelines and are subject to both local and emerging developments.
