Can a person use the terms of the guarantee in a medical malpractice claim against St. Luke’s, SLCU, NUA and/or the participating urologists?
No. A failure to follow the care plan, the occurrence of an undesired outcome or a readmission covered by the limited guarantee is not an acknowledgement of fault or wrongdoing by St. Luke’s, SLCU, NUA or the participating urologists and cannot be considered an admission of liability by St. Luke’s, SLCU, NUA or the participating urologists. The limited guarantee cannot be used as evidence in any legal proceeding alleging professional negligence or misconduct. In fact, the standards set forth in the limited guarantee may be a higher standard than the applicable standard of care required by law. THESE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ARE INTENDED TO ASSIST YOU IN YOUR INTERPRETATION OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE LIMITED GUARANTEE. HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN THESE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL CONTROL.
