Liability Insurance and Workers Compensation Coverage:

Wisconsin law, "Chapter 257 Emergency Volunteer Health Care Practitioners" provides liability protection and workers compensation for volunteers under the following circumstances. If a volunteer health care practitioner provides services for which the individual is licensed, certified, registered, or qualified, the practitioner will be indemnified and considered an employee of the state for worker’s compensation purposes if all of the following apply:

The practitioner is not compensated by the health care facility, mass clinic, Wisconsin Department of Health Services, or local health department (except for travel, lodging, or meals).
The practitioner is registered in the electronic system (known as "WEAVR") established by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services or first registers in writing with the health care facility or mass clinic.
Reckless, wanton, or intentional misconduct is not covered.
The services provided by the health care practitioner must occur during a state of emergency in the geographic area in which the state of emergency applies and on behalf of a health care facility or mass clinic, or at the request of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services or a local health department.

I understand that more information about volunteer liability and workers compensation protections in Wisconsin can be found on the WEAVR home page at http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/preparedness/WEAVR/index.htm
