Updated January 2022

During the COVID-19 crisis, changes have been made to support members. The following summarizes the changes, all of which remain in force:

• Coverage will apply to expanded privileges related to COVID-19 for all clinicians currently covered by CRICO; Underwriting does not need to be notified nor will a premium class change apply.
• For those returning to clinical practice to assist with the pandemic, an abbreviated application for retired physicians and reduced requirements for physicians and certified nurse midwives returning to clinical practice are in place.
• Our MPL policies have been modified to better accommodate insureds with respect to the provision of telemedicine services across state lines. This policy change modifies the policy exclusion related to violation, or potential violation, of state licensure laws when telemedicine services are provided in response to, and/or in connection with, the crisis caused by and/or resulting from the coronavirus.
• MPL coverage is available to providers who are issued emergency privileges to assist with the pandemic at your organizations but do not have existing MPL coverage OR do not have coverage that extends to work at your organizations. We also have waived certain eligibility requirements to provide this coverage and premium will be waived for all providers who join our member institutions to help with the COVID-19 crisis.
