More than 400 Florida doctors will lose their medical malpractice insurance next year despite the law passed by the Legislature this summer. The problem is one of timing, according to GE Medical Protective, which notified the physicians this week that their policies would not be renewed in January. The insurer can’t tell doctors what their rates will be until the state calculates the impact of the law changes, company spokesman John Novaria said. And the state estimates won’t be ready until mid-November.
