SARS-CoV-2 Testing
December 7, 2020
Dear OMIC Insureds:
This month’s Bulletin introduces new risk management resources regarding SARS-CoV-2 testing of patients and staff.
If you elect to conduct such testing in your practice, you may find these FAQ documents and consent forms helpful: https://www.omic.com/covid-test-risk-management-recommendations/.
As always, OMIC policyholders are not required to implement risk management recommendations. Rather, physicians should use their professional judgment in determining the applicability of a given recommendation to their particular patients and practice situation.
Many policyholders have inquired if they are covered for offering SARS-CoV-2 testing. A discussion of this and related questions can be found on our website: https://www.omic.com/covid-19-coverage-information/. Questions about coverage should be directed to Underwriting at 1-800-562-6642, ext. 639, or omic@omic.com.
If you have questions about the risk management resources, contact us for confidential risk management advice by emailing us at riskmanagement@omic.com.
Best wishes for a healthy and happy holiday season.
Linda D. Harrison, PhD
Director, OMIC Risk Management
