Whom will I need to notify if I believe that I am eligible for ROCS?

Contact your current medical indemnity insurer or the last medical indemnity insurer (or MDO) that covered you. If you were insured with an medical indemnity insurer, you will receive a notice of your cover under the ROCS. In the event you have a claim, notify your insurer or your MDO.

If I am eligible for ROCS will my MII send me notification of this?

Yes. Medical indemnity insurers are obliged to notify eligible doctors of the nature and range of incidents covered under the ROCS and any other terms and conditions. The changes to legislation in November 2006 have simplified the running of the ROCS, so medical indemnity insurers are in a better position to notify eligible doctors.

While there may be some eligible doctors whom medical indemnity insurers are not aware of, their entitlement to the ROCS is not dependent on possession of the notice. Entitlement will occur immediately a doctor becomes eligible, even if you have not received a notice from your insurer.
