WI Injured Patient Compensation Fund(Fund)

The Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund insures Wisconsin participating physicians and other health care providers against medical malpractice claims that exceed statutory established primary insurance limits.

Wausau, under contract with the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, provides claim management services for claims made against Fund covered health care providers.

In addition, Wausau maintains records, reviews claims and recommends to the Fund’s state staff reimbursement of Fund claimants for certain costs when amounts have been awarded or agreed to specifically for claimants’ future medical expenses.
