Agenda items for this meeting are subject to change as priorities dictate. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Dated: June 23, 2010. Carolyn M. Clancy, Director. U.S. Government. Under section 224 of the PHS Act, as amended by the Federally Supported Health Centers Assistance Act (FSHCAA) of 1992 and 1995, a section 330-funded health center, as well as its officers, directors, employees, and certain contractors, may be considered deemed to be Federal employees for the purpose of medical malpractice coverage under the FTCA. As such, they are immune from personal liability for claims of medical malpractice arising from their deemed employment, contract for services, or duties as an officer or director of the deemed health center. FSHCAA requires health centers to apply for deemed status in order for FTCA coverage to be effective. HRSA has issued numerous Program Information Notices (PINs) and Program Assistance Letters (PALs) related to the Health Center FTCA Medical Malpractice Program. HRSA consolidated these PINs and PALs to create this FTCA Policy Manual. It is intended to convey guidance regarding existing policy and current processes, and to serve as the principal policy resource on FTCA matters for Health Center Program grantees and related stakeholders. It will be updated as new policy and program guidance are issued. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions regarding this notice, please contact the HRSA Bureau of Primary Health Care, Office of Quality and Data, at 301–594–0818. Dated: June 24, 2010. Mary K. Wakefield, Administrator.
