(Recorded Webinar) FTCA Coverage & COVID-19

This course is closed to new enrollments.

Duration: 80 minutes
Webinar recorded on: 3/20/2020

Health centers are currently engaged in unprecedented efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In order to reach patients efficiently and effectively, many health centers are exploring new ways to provide care to patients. For example, these services may include telehealth visits with non-health center patients, mobile testing of at-risk community members, and requests to participate in ER diversion programs. However, it is not always clear what will be covered by the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). 

In this complimentary webinar, we will explore FTCA coverage for various COVID-19 activities and discuss how you can best ensure malpractice liability protection for your health center and staff members in these unusual times.

Target Audience

  • New Staff; Medical Directors; Risk Managers
  • Compliance Officers
  • CEOs, COOs, CMOs, CFOs
  • Grants Managers
  • Human Resources Managers and staff 
  • Anyone who works on deeming applications

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Understand which services related to COVID-19 are most likely to be covered (or not)
  • Identify strategies to ensure malpractice liability protection for your health center
  • Discuss emerging risks related to FTCA program compliance
