Date
March 16, 2020
The FTCA program, now 28 years old, has saved countless dollars in malpractice insurance bills for health centers, but getting coverage when allegations of negligence are made has become complicated and onerous. This workshop will examine the basic underpinnings of the FTCA program, describe various means in which it aids the deemed centers, and highlight current shortcomings and means to avoid them. Be prepared to bring your questions to this interactive, exciting session.
Learning Objectives
- Provide basic knowledge on FTCA program coverage to health center clinical staff.
- Understand the claims process and requirements on health centers and staff by that process.
