Pennsylvania Statutes Title 40 P.S. Insurance § 1303.716. Podiatrist liability

Within two years of the effective date of this chapter, the department shall calculate the amount necessary to arrange for the separate retirement of the fund's liabilities associated with podiatrists. Any arrangement shall be on terms and conditions proportionate to the individual liability of the class of health care provider. The arrangement may result in assessments for podiatrists different from the assessments for other health care providers. Upon satisfaction of the arrangement, podiatrists shall not be required to contribute to or be entitled to participate in the fund. In cases where the class rejects an arrangement, the department shall present to the provider class new term arrangements at least once in every two-year period. All costs and expenses associated with the completion and implementation of the arrangement shall be paid by podiatrists and may be charged in the form of an addition to the assessment.
