FTCA Summit: Inside FTCA — Coverage, Claims, Applications, and Site Visits | Workshop Day 1
The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) Program remains a cornerstone of liability protection for deemed health centers, but its requirements, limitations, and oversight mechanisms are often complex and evolving. FTCA Summit brings together critical legal, compliance, and operational insights to help health centers strengthen their understanding and readiness.
This interactive workshop will cover the legal underpinnings of FTCA Program, cases where coverage has been denied, the claims process, the deeming application, and what to expect during FTCA site visits. Participants will leave with practical tools, lessons learned, and strategies to reduce organizational risk and ensure compliance with federal expectations.

This session will provide a deep dive into the statutory and regulatory underpinnings of FTCA coverage for health centers and their staff members, with a focus on how the Office of General Counsel, Department of Justice, and the courts have interpreted its scope. We will examine cases where FTCA coverage was denied, highlight the lessons for health centers, and walk through the claims process from filing to resolution. Practical strategies for strengthening risk management and avoiding uncovered claims will also be addressed.
