    <title>Medicare plan: Stop paying for hospital complications -- Automatic malpractice??</title>
    <description>
    &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medlaw.com/healthlaw/OSHA/9_1/medicare-plan-stop-paying.shtml&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.medlaw.com/healthlaw/bm~pix/s386~s200x200.jpg&quot;
       alt=&quot;Medicare plan: Stop paying for hospital complications -- Automatic malpractice??-Spotlight&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; hspace=&quot;15&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

The denial process will alert patients to the fact that their condition resulted from hospital error, and can be expected to increase malpractice claims for such complications and create a legal argument that these issues are automatically malpractice.
