"This Program Assistance Letter (PAL) supplements Program Information Notice (PIN) 2011-02, Free Clinics Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) Program Policy Guide, and provides guidance on the Calendar Year (CY) 2015 deeming application process for medical malpractice liability coverage under the provisions of section 224(o) of the PHS Act and the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). This PAL contains instructions for free clinics on how to apply to HRSA for medical malpractice coverage under the FTCA for CY 2015 on behalf of their volunteer free clinic health care professionals, board members, officers, employees, and/or contractors.
Although the process isn’t exactly the same for free clinics compared to FQHCs, some technical assistance resources have been posted that may also be helpful to the process for free clinics." [Source: HRSA]
