Overview
This bill aims to limit how medical malpractice insurance premiums can be raised. It prevents insurers from increasing premiums simply because a doctor is involved in a malpractice lawsuit, as long as the doctor is dismissed from the lawsuit within 180 days. The bill clarifies what constitutes a ‘claim’ for insurance purposes and ensures premiums are only increased after a formal settlement, judgment, or arbitration award against the insured.
