Retrospective Rating Plans for Medical Malpractice Insurance

Bulletin 60 RETROSPECTIVE RATING PLANS FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE INSURANCE March 21, 1990 This bulletin is directed to all insurance companies, including risk retention groups writing medical malpractice insurance for Indiana policyholders. Because of the unique nature of the Indiana Medical Malpractice Act and its mechanism for calculation and collection of the surcharge paid by participating health care providers, this Department had determined that retrospective rating plans for medical malpractice insurance are neither appropriate nor acceptable. This bulletin is effective immediately. John J. Dillon III Commissioner
