Risk Management (RM) Requirements for PSS 08/09

Under the Premium Support Scheme (PSS), medical practitioners are required to complete risk management activities in order to be eligible for a PSS payment.

 

These activities must be completed within the same policy year as that to which the premium support applies. It is important that all Members who wish to apply for the PSS, whether they apply during the 2008/09 policy year or after the end of that policy year, ensure that the appropriate risk management activities are completed prior to 1 July 2009.

 

These activities must be considered appropriate by MDA National Insurance and should assist Members to identify risk and implement appropriate risk management strategies.

 

The MDA National Group provides a range of risk management resources and educational activities which address some of the common medico-legal risks you may face in your practice. These products and services, available through our ‘Support in Practice Program’, are free to MDA National Members.

 

Alternatively, Members can undertake external risk management activities deemed to be appropriate by MDA National Insurance.

 

Please note that Members accessing PSS for the 2008/09 policy year need to complete at least one of the relevant Risk Management activities between 1 July 2008 and 30 June 2009.

 

Evidence of completion can be submitted to MDA National at any time during the 2008/09 policy year.
