30 Practitioner who has not paid insurer for subsidy that insurer must repay is not eligible medical practitioner

(1) This section applies if: (a) a medical indemnity insurer with which a medical practitioner has or had a contract of insurance for professional indemnity cover has been paid a subsidy under this Part or the old scheme on behalf of the practitioner; and (b) some or all of the subsidy is repaid or repayable by the insurer under this Part or the old scheme; and (c) the insurer has requested the practitioner to pay the insurer an amount equal to the amount repaid or repayable by the insurer. (2) The medical practitioner is not an eligible medical practitioner at any time between receiving the request and paying the amount to the insurer.

Note: This prevents the medical practitioner from being an eligible medical practitioner for the purposes of working out whether a subsidy is payable after the request to any insurer (not just the one that made the request) on behalf of the practitioner.
