About the Patient’s Compensation Fund
The Patient’s Compensation Fund (PCF) was created in 1975 to provide an affordable and guaranteed medical malpractice coverage system for the private healthcare providers in the state. The Patient’s Compensation Fund is self-funded state entity, operating independently of the main state budget, and governed by the PCF Oversight Board. The Patient’s Compensation Fund provides protection for the healthcare system, keeping costs down, and providing a guaranteed pool of funds to pay those citizens injured from medical malpractice of private care providers.
