1 Free Clinics Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) Program Requirements and Best Practices May 4, 2018 Kathleen McAndrews, MHA Office of Quality Improvement (OQI) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
2 Overview Program & Application Requirements The Credentialing & Privileging Requirement Technical Assistance Resources Important Dates Questions/Answers 2
3 Free Clinics FTCA Program The Free Clinics FTCA Program extends free medical malpractice liability coverage to individuals who: Meet program and statutory requirements; and Are deemed as federal employees for such purposes. Individuals in the following categories may be eligible for the Free Clinics FTCA Program: Volunteer health care professionals; Officers; Governing board members; Employees; and Contractors. 3
4 Program Requirements Sponsoring Free Clinics A free clinic must meet and maintain the following program requirements: Quality Improvement/Quality Assurance (QI/QA) Plan, including risk management system; Review of Medical Malpractice Claims & Professional liability patient notice of limited liability; Annual data reporting; and Credentialing and privileging system. 4
5 Free Clinics FTCA Program Map United States Map of Over 200 Participating Free Clinics across 39 states. 5
6 Program Requirements An eligible free clinic must be operated by a non-profit, private entity that: Does not accept reimbursement from any third party payer; Does not impose charges on patients; and Is licensed or certified per applicable law to provide health services. Free Clinics may accept patients voluntary donations. 6
7 FAQ #1 My clinic receives grant funding and donations. Does that make us ineligible for the program? 7
8 FAQ #1 Answer A free clinic can receive grant funding and donations as long as the funding and donations are not for a specific service per person (per capita). 8
9 Program Requirements (Continued) Eligible healthcare professionals such as volunteers, board members, officers, employees, and/or individual contractor(s): Must be sponsored by an eligible free clinic; Must meet all statutory and program requirements; and Provide a qualifying health service (i.e., any medical assistance required or authorized to be provided under Title XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396,et seq.). Clinicians must provide services to patients at the free clinic or through certain qualifying offsite events conducted by the free clinic. 9
10 Program Requirements Eligible healthcare professionals must also provide patients with written notification of limited legal liability (if not provided by the free clinic). Individuals who are volunteer health care professionals must be appropriately licensed or certified to provide qualifying healthcare services. 10
11 Service Contracts An individual (contractor) health professional must have a contract directly with the free clinic. A contract between a free clinic and a corporation does not provide sufficient basis for deemed status under the Free Clinics FTCA Program. 11
12 Coverage Approval Coverage is only for medical malpractice claims, specifically medical, surgical, dental, and related functions. Medical malpractice coverage under the Free Clinics FTCA Program does not occur automatically. FTCA coverage requires HRSA s approval of applications for deeming of certain individuals from the sponsoring free clinic. FTCA coverage is not retroactive and is not effective until the date shown on your deeming letter. Free clinic coverage does not extend to free clinic entities. 12
13 FAQ #2 Are there a minimum number of days for volunteers in order to qualify for the program? 13
14 FAQ #2 Answer Volunteers do not have a requirement for a minimum amount of hours in order to qualify for the program. 14
