FTCA Proof of Coverage

[GreenHousePub]

Hi Everyone,

Leaving active duty and going to private practice. As such, my new malpractice carrier is requesting a FTCA declaration page or letter confirming coverage for when I was AD.

Does anyone know where to get this from?

I've tried both my hospital's HR department and the credentialing department. Both have no clue.

Perhaps your JAG office could offer some guidance?

Thanks for the insight. Turns out the JAG office was the correct one to go through. I'm going to leave this up in case anyone in the future needs to know.

In the Navy, there's a process for getting a "Letter of Malpractice Verification and Claims History" which is a combined document that both proves you were covered during particular span of dates, and notes any settled claims you were involved in (or the absence of such). Usually takes them a couple days to get it prepared and sent to you. They'll also send direct to the credentialing authority if necessary. You have to request it yourself; they won't respond to 3rd party requests.

For Navy folks, see the attached PDF.
