WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU NEED HELP FROM THE CMPA<br />
To be eligible to receive assistance, a physician must have been a member of the CMPA at the time when the professional<br />
work complained about was done.<br />
If you are faced with a serious complaint or a threat of a lawsuit:<br />
• Notify the CMPA at once.<br />
• Wait for advice from the CMPA before taking any further steps.<br />
• Be sure your clinical records are secure. Do not alter or change them in any way.<br />
• Do not consult a lawyer without instructions from the CMPA. The Association does not accept responsibility for the<br />
payment of legal expenses incurred without our prior approval.<br />
• Seek advice from the CMPA before answering letters of complaint from patients, lawyers or others.<br />
When you consult with a CMPA physician, discuss the facts of the case; in addition, be sure to talk about how to best<br />
meet your emotional needs.<br />
