Federal Medical Professionals

Federal medical professionals are generally shielded from personal liability for malpractice under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), but they may still face administrative, disciplinary, or criminal investigations. Agencies such as the VA, NIH, DoD, HHS, BOP, DOL, and FDA can pursue actions involving alleged ethics violations or misconduct.

FEDS Protection professional liability insurance (PLI) provides Veterans Affairs and other federal medical professionals peace of mind, responsive customer service, and legal defense. We are trusted by federal employees and endorsed by leading federal employee associations nationwide.
