Steward Health Care insurance mess leaves doctors liable for settlements

The report outlines litigation problems stemming from Steward Health Care's relationship with its in-house insurer, Tailored Risk Assurance Co. (TRACO). Plaintiffs and defense counsel allege TRACO failed to pay settlement checks and legal fees, leading judges in multiple counties to consider holding former medical professionals personally liable and prompting motions to compel disclosure over concerns the insurer's policies may not be legitimate.
