ForwardRecorded Series: FTCA CY 2021 Deeming Application
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.
Join us for a two-part webinar series for an overview of the FTCA program and the redeeming process. Whether this is your first time or your 20th submitting a deeming application, this series will be invaluable to submitting a successful application for CY 2021.
| REMINDER: Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, HRSA has extended the CY 2021 re-deeming application cycle deadline from May 14, 2020, to July 13, 2020. All currently deemed grantees must submit a redeeming application (including applications for any subrecipients) on or before July 13, 2020 in order to be eligible to be deemed for the entirety of CY 2021 without a gap in coverage. While you have an additional sixty (60) days to complete your re-deeming applications, HRSA is strongly encouraging health centers to complete and submit deeming applications as soon as possible so that HRSA has sufficient time to issue all Notice of Deeming Actions well in advance of December 31, 2020 for calendar year 2021 deeming. According to HRSA, health centers that apply early will receive an expedited review. The EHBs began accepting applications on April 13, 2020, with applications due on or before July 13, 2020. Health centers will be able to submit supplemental deeming applications for sponsored VHPs who were not included in your re-deeming application beginning on July 31, 2020. |
