FTCA CY2027 redeeming applications due June 26 — miss it and your FQHC has a malpractice-coverage gap
HRSA Program Assistance Letter 2026-01 sets June 26, 2026 as the deadline for all currently-deemed health centers (and their sub-recipients) to submit CY2027 Federal Tort Claims Act redeeming applications — the annual filing that renews free federal medical-malpractice liability coverage. A lapse forces the center to buy private malpractice insurance to cover the gap for all of 2027.
The risk is sharper this year because HRSA's EHB-to-GrantSolutions system migration is happening in the same window, making the deadline easier to miss. Compliance officers should confirm submission well before June 26.
