Do's for Doctors

Membership

Why do you need our membership?

We are telling about your membership that what membership is in real sense? Membership covers defense against any all allegations/claims/complaints/notices/reports in incidents of medical negligence in any court of law within the jurisdiction of India.Your membership means the beginning and end of the selected period for which you have chosen and for which you have paid. Legal services and insurance coverage we begin the day you receive our membership. It is very clear that the cause of action or a case must commence in the same period. If you treat a patient before subscribing to DCPL and the case falls within the membership period, then any such case will be pre-subscription. Get your insurance policy renewed on time so as to avoid any legal issue of publicity for compensation provided by insurance companies.
