Hurricane Resource Center
Providing physicians with support.
Recovery. Next steps.
In the wake of a hurricane, many physicians face the daunting task of rebuilding medical practices that were damaged or destroyed by catastrophic wind and flooding. The FMA launched this resource center to provide physicians with the support they need to navigate the road to recovery: essential tips from insurance experts, the latest state guidelines, pitfalls to avoid, and where to find further assistance.
An Expert's Take
The FMA and the Emerald Coast Medical Association have partnered to bring you the following video series to help you navigate the insurance process. Join insurance expert Trey Hutt, President of Panama City-based Hutt Insurance, as he explains the important steps for physicians to take — and red flags to be aware of — in the days immediately following a hurricane. Among the highlights:
