If you have provided care in Canada and a medico-legal matter is brought against you in Canada (e.g. through Canadian courts or medical regulatory colleges), you are eligible for our assistance. The CMPA is structured to provide assistance in Canada, not in other jurisdictions, such as the U.S. If a matter is brought against you in the U.S., you are unlikely to be eligible for our assistance. We therefore encourage you to consider whether you need to obtain additional liability protection for medico-legal matters brought in the U.S. if you wish to provide this service to American patients coming to Canada.
