[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone figure out what it was? Original partners just not willing to pay new OBs or did they have a legal issue?[/quote] Insurance was too high. Heard from a neonatalogist friend who knows Foxhall docs. Apparently malpractice insurance rates are basically the same (insanely high $$$) whether your practice is delivering 1 baby or 1,000 babies so it’s only affordable if a practice can keep up with really high volume. As OBs get older and want to slow down, even if it means they don’t want to stop entirely, the whole thing becomes financially unsustainable because they don’t have enough economy of scale. Apparently malpractice insurance rates are particularly high in DC, too. I guess it was either switch to GYN only or merge with a bigger practice like CWC and they decided they didn’t want to merge.
