  10. Issues that Health Care providers are concerned with: Expenses are reduced, however, all of our clients have stressed that their Patient Safety efforts will not be comprised. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and bad debt Balance sheet and asset issues - no more investment income Difficulty in acquiring capital or credit Bond issues to support capital growth There are less elective surgeries More strain on Emergency Rooms as the public losses their jobs - the strain of the uninsured. Construction Operations have been halted Personnel shortages as a result of lay-offs What affects the financial crisis has on Healthcare clients?

  11. Combat the financial crisis from a risk transfer perspective From a risk transfer perspective here are some of the issues that can be addressed to combat the financial crisis: • Make sure all of the carriers are AM Best rated. Also, provide S&P and Moody’s information to your clients. • Arrange meetings to develop a strategy. How much risk can they assume? Will they need to reduce limits? If they have a captive, discuss the financials of the captive. When the market begins to turn or stabilize insured's/clients will be concerned about the stability of carriers. One way to address this is to syndicate your placements. Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, with regards to limits of liability.
