I agree with Jon Ahrendsen's comment.

I am wondering if you might ask the hospital administrator if the
physicians who are independent contractors also must provide evidence of
workman's comp?

Have you shown them that you have professional liability insurance? That
really is all they should be interested in.

Another question: do they require all people who come to visit patients to
have workman's comp so they don't fall in the hall and break something and
then expect the hospital to pay the bill?

This all seems so silly....
