MALPRACTICE COVERAGE FOR PAs
Over the last few weeks we have received numerous requests for information on what PAs should be doing about malpractice coverage in view of the recent legislation passed in Florida. I requested an opinion from the Legal Counsel for the Academy, Ron Meyer of Meyer and Brooks, P.A., on an overview of statutory requirements, and the concept of a PA "going bare". I am not a lawyer and would never consider rendering an opinion in such a matter. Below is a link to the reply I received from Mr. Meyer for you to review and interpret for yourself. This is provided as a benefit of being a member of your Academy. It is being placed in the public domain section for the benefit of all PAs in Florida since this is such an important issue for all. For those of you who are not members, this is just another reason one should consider becoming a member. If you have questions about your personal malpractice situation, consult an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice. Do not contact Mr. Meyer as his office will refer you to the Academy office. FAPA retains his services as our Legal Counsel strictly for Academy matters, and he is not authorized to render advice or research unless the request is approved by the President or Board of Directors. If you wish to retain his services for personal legal matters you will need to make those arrangements through his office staff.
