[PrvPracNP] Question about medical director's liability

[GIN11153 at aol.com]

Well, with a draft lease in hand, I have a medical director who is  90% sure 
he'll work with me. I told him that the attorney who researched  all the 
Calif. Business and Professional Codes said that because I am a  registered nurse 
and not an NP yet, I'd need to form a medical corporation with  my medical 
director to make it legal. 
 
Neither of us have a problem with that-I will make sure it has that the  
doctor is not responsible for any money for the office . He has his own  
malpractice insurance and I will have an office liability/slip and fall  insurance 
policy. However, he just asked me about liability issues and if he  were to be 
sued . Does the corporation cover any expenses that his malpractice  insurance 
does not?
 
I would like to hear from those of you with a medical director for your  
practices for ideas please.
