Is your subject being compensated more then his/her expenses?
I don't think he said one way or the other. In fact from what he said, it doesn't appear that he has yet accepted any compensation at all. He is trying to gather information re potential adverse consequences before he does it. Seems very sensible to me.
NO. The AMA will not cover the OP even if he does it 1 time.

7th bullet item down. That's the other place the AMA had to put it just in case you didn't understand it the first time. They made it a little bit more clear on this document instead. Next you can sift through their insurance premium and policy if you feel advantageous.
You're on a roll here, Dion. More info that is on-topic and relevant. I'll post the info from that link, as I think it presents
facts very pertinent this discussion:
"
The policy does NOT cover business pursuits; that is any activity that generates income for a member beyond reimbursement of expenses, except this business pursuit exclusion does not apply to individual members providing modeling instructions for pay to AMA members."
So, OP
can be compensated for expenses w/o risk of losing his liability protection afforded by AMA insurance. I suspect that is a large part of the answer he was looking for. If he keeps a proper log of his expenses, there should be no problem with accepting reimbursement up to that amount.
It took 150 posts to get OP some useful, though partial, answer to his query. It may be sufficient for him, but if he is intent on collecting fees for his performance over and above expenses, we ought to let him tell us that before it goes on for another 150 posts.
