April 16, 2021

Series Description

Many health centers take part in the professional liability coverage offered under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). From submitting the initial application for “deemed” status to implementing the program components and preparing for a site visit, the FTCA program can be complicated and confusing. Failing to comply with the FTCA program requirements can be costly for health centers and providers who can be left without any malpractice insurance.

Part II

In Part II of this two-part series, we will cover the ins and outs of FTCA coverage in more depth and discuss the biggest risks for health centers, including:

  • Common and emerging FTCA risk areas during COVID-19 Response
  • Principles of FTCA coverage
  • Gap insurance
The On-Demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase after the conclusion of the live webinar. 

Target Audience

  • All are welcome, but we think the webinars will be especially helpful for health center:

  • Executive staff
  • Clinical leadership
  • Human resources staff
  • Compliance staff

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Understand what Gap insurance is and when you may or may not need it
  • Discuss common and emerging FTCA risk areas
  • Recognize frequent coverage issues and strategies to prevent them
