The 2020 FTCA Program: Are We Still Living in the Past?

Date
August 19, 2019

Since the commencement of the FTCA program in 1992 health centers have evolved, developing new methods for reaching underserved populations and designing leading-edge systems of care. The FTCA program was intended to eliminate the need to purchase malpractice insurance. Twenty-seven years later, health centers are still purchasing malpractice insurance as the program has failed to keep up with the evolution of ambulatory care. This workshop will discuss the history of the FTCA program, its success and failings, and how health centers can protect themselves as they develop new and innovative ways to deliver health services to their communities. Presenters will discuss techniques to maximize malpractice protection under the FTCA, tips on avoiding negative decisions, and tools available to contest adverse decisions by the government on deeming and coverage. The session will be interactive with attendees encouraged to bring their issues with them for discussion.
