CCAP providers are covered under the Federal Tort Claims Act of 1992 and 1995. Covered providers have statutory immunity from “individual” malpractice liability while acting within scope of employment. Providers feel less threatened by the malpractice climate while working for CCAP because if a patient sues a CCAP doctor, they are instead suing the federal government. Thus, less junk lawsuits.
