The physician continues to be eligible for the policy year beginning July 1, 2006. In order to continue to be eligible for excess medical malpractice insurance effective July 1, 2007, the physician must complete the excess medical malpractice risk management follow-up course requirements by July 1, 2007.N.Y.
