In the state of Kansas any defined healthcare provider (defined at K.S.A. 40-3401(f) ) with an active Kansas license must comply with the Kansas Healthcare Stabilization Fund. Therefore, there are actually two entities protecting the provider — the insurance company and the state PCF. In addition, there are different compliance guidelines for Kansas resident providers vs. non-residents providers.

Did you know that if you activate your Kansas license you may first need to purchase tail coverage for your prior acts?

Don’t risk a potential gap in coverage or incur an unnecessary tail coverage expense by utilizing the services of an out-of-town broker with minimal Kansas Fund knowledge.
