A complaint notification from the BoRM (Board of Registration in Medicine) must be responded to within the time period stated. Under its regulations, the BoRM must conduct a preliminary investigation of anonymous and identified complaints, to allow the Complaint Committee to determine whether the complaint appears frivolous, or to proceed with further investigation.
CRICO-insureds should contact their institutional risk management representative regarding the filing of a potential claim in this type of matter so that appropriate guidance can be provided. Upon notification, CRICO reviews each situation on a case-by-case basis to determine whether a CRICO defense attorney should be assigned.
