49 Pa. Code § 16.32 - Requirements of the MCARE Act
(a)
Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c), a physician or nurse-midwife
shall maintain the required amount of professional liability insurance, or have
an approved self-insurance plan, and pay the required Medical Care Availability
and Reduction of Error (MCARE) Fund assessment as a condition of practice under
sections 711 and 712 of the MCARE Act (40 P. S. §§
1303.711 and
1303.712). Failure to comply
with this section subjects the physician or nurse-midwife to disciplinary
action by the Board.
(b) A
physician or nurse-midwife practicing solely as a Federal employee is not
required to participate in the professional liability insurance program, nor is
the physician or nurse-midwife required to comply with the MCARE Act.
(c) A physician or nurse-midwife who provides
no medical service in this Commonwealth is not required to pay the MCARE Fund
assessment or comply with the insurance requirements of the MCARE Act. Proof of
nonpractice must be furnished by notarized statement.
