Section 224(o) relates to employees, officers, and contractors at qualifying free clinics. The Free Clinics FTCA Program is administered by HRSA’s Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC).

information necessary to evaluate an application and determine whether 
an individual meets the requirements for deemed PHS employee status for 
the purposes of FTCA coverage. FTCA application forms for free clinics 
do not require any changes with this extension other than to update the 
applicable dates.

PHS employee status on behalf of their sponsored individuals for 
purposes of FTCA coverage.
