Medical Professional Liability Insurance Sponsorship FAQs

 

Yes. Documentation is required that shows limits of 1 million/3 million are met as required by KLT. Reimbursement up to $1400/year, prorated based on expiration.

Yes.

The KLT program is a reimbursement sponsorship. Medical professional liability insurance policy with limits of 1 million/3 million must be purchased by the provider. To receive reimbursement, KLT requires resident physicians/fellows to submit a copy of the receipt showing amount paid and the insurance policy.

Yes. Kansas City resident physicians/fellows will receive the insurance subsidy in their normal paychecks and taxes will be taken out accordingly. Resident physicians/fellows in Wichita and Salina will be paid directly and receive 1099s.

Kansas City resident physicians/fellows please allow at least two pay periods to receive the payment. Resident physicians/fellows in Wichita and Salina please allow approximately 30 days for payment.

KLT coverages are usually for weekends beginning on Friday evening and ending on Monday morning, or about 60 hours. This means that the obligation can be met in about 4 weekend coverages.  Alternatively, the requirement can be met by completing about 8 coverages that are 24 hours, or 16 that are 12 hours.  This is an updated approach from previously stated requirements of only completing “4 coverages” as more organizations have started offering only 12- and 24-hour shifts.
