What is FTCA?

Federal Tort Claims Act

Under the Federally Supported Health Centers Assistance Acts of 1992 and 1995, health centers that receive funds through the Health Center Program may be deemed as employees of the Public Health Service (PHS) for purposes of Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) coverage for the performance of medical, surgical, dental, and related functions within the scope of employment. The Health Center FTCA Program increases the availability of funds to health centers to provide services within the Health Center Program scope of project by reducing or eliminating health centers' spending on malpractice insurance premiums for such services.

​

What services are covered under the FTCA Program? Deemed Health Center Program grantees are immune from medical malpractice lawsuits resulting from the performance of medical, surgical, dental, or related functions within the approved scope of project.
