I am renewing my medical license and the application asks whether there are any claims or suits that have not been reported to the Texas Medical Board (TMB). Has my current claim been reported?
That depends if your claim is a lawsuit. The claim department now routinely notifies the TMB of all lawsuits reported to us by the policyholder. We also file a report with the TMB when the lawsuit is resolved and the file is closed. Per changes in 2003 to the regulations that govern TMLT’s reporting requirements to the TMB, claims that are not in suit are no longer reported.
