Medical Indemnity Fund

The Medical Indemnity Fund (MIF) was established by Chapter 59 of the 2011 Session Laws of the State of New York. The MIF was designed to provide a funding source for future health care costs of "qualified plaintiffs," as defined by law, who suffered birth-related neurological injuries due to medical malpractice during a delivery admission.

Beginning on November 1st, 2021, all correspondence regarding enrollment, all claims, and general information requests will be submitted directly to PCG at: NY_DOH_MIF@pcgus.com

Medical Indemnity Fund

Effective October 1, 2019, the New York State Department of Health (DOH) took over the responsibility of overseeing the MIF, previously managed by the Department of Financial Services (DFS).
