Title: Health Center Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) Medical Malpractice Program Regulations--Clarification of FTCA Coverage for Services Provided to Non-Health Center Patients | |
Abstract: This final rule amends regulations at 42 CFR part 6 (FTCA Coverage of Certain Grantees and Individuals) to include additional examples of FTCA-covered activities. Recently, questions have arisen regarding the scope of FTCA regulations as they affect medical malpractice coverage for FTCA-deemed health centers and non-health center patients. Section 6.6(e) of the Health Center FTCA Program regulations provides examples of situations within the scope of section 6.6(d), which authorizes FTCA medical malpractice coverage for non-health center patients. These examples include certain community-wide interventions and hospital-related activities where the health center's health care practitioners will be covered for services provided to non-health center patients. | |
