AVMA PLIT Launches Action
Center: An Online Claim Resource for Veterinarians
CHICAGO – September
16, 2016 – The PLIT launched a new addition to their online portal, called the
“Action Center,” for AVMA members to access content and tools detailing what to
do if they have a potential or actual malpractice claim or license complaint. The
Action Center was created as a resource to educate veterinarians on the
handling of claims. This will also transform the veterinarians’ understanding of
the claims process.
“Our new Action Center is an easy and convenient way for
veterinarians to learn about the claims process. A malpractice allegation or a
board complaint can be very stressful, and we wanted our insureds to know that
they are not alone. The PLIT is here for you when you have a potential or
actual claim,” said Dr. Andrew Clark, Interim Chief Executive Officer, AVMA
PLIT. “The PLIT has supported veterinarians for 54 years, and we’re excited to
provide this new key AVMA member benefit to help veterinarians take control by
taking action. The PLIT is committed to protecting veterinarians through it
all.”
The Action Center includes
instructional videos and a robust, step-by-step explanation for veterinarians working
through a potential or actual allegation of malpractice or a veterinary license
defense complaint. Additional tips for communicating with clients, wellness
information, testimonials, and frequently asked questions are also available. The
new site can be accessed via the PLIT homepage or at avmaplit.com/actioncenter.
The PLIT encourages
AVMA members to use the Action Center and stay informed in the event of a
malpractice claim or license defense complaint. The Action Center helps
veterinarians to take control by taking action.
The AVMA PLIT is protecting veterinarians and future
veterinarians through it all.
