Does ROCS only cover compensation claims?
No. ROCS indemnities may, subject to the applicable terms and conditions, be paid for: • valid medical indemnity claims relating to compensation/damages made against a doctor (eg by patients); • costs associated with reported incidents which may or may not become claims (eg investigation of circumstances surrounding an incident); or • certain claims made by a doctor arising from medical practice such as legal representation at coronial enquiries. However ROCS does not mirror cover other than medical indemnity cover that a doctor may have purchased, for example income protection or personal injury cover.
