Im thinking of retiring/Im taking a break. What options does the JUA offer?
• Click here for full details of the Short Term Practice Reduction program. I am hiring a birth assistant. Does the birth assistant need malpractice coverage? We are bringing in a newly licensed midwife who will mostly be supervised initially. Does she need malpractice coverage? • Anyone providing any unsupervised clinical care should have malpractice coverage. • Birth assistants who are only employed to assist at births with the midwife present, and who do not do any unsupervised prenatal or postpartum visits may not need malpractice coverage. • New midwives being brought into the practice may well need malpractice coverage, since they are very likely to do some amount of clinical care unsupervised.
