Tail coverage is an option available upon termination of the program. HMSA has no plans to discontinue the program. However, if the program is terminated for some unforeseen reason, HMSA is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for its providers and their patients. In the event HMSA terminates the program, HMSA will obtain or provide tail insurance coverage for providers in the network.
