Adoption of rules; comparability of rates
Sec. 4. (a) The commissioner may adopt rules establishing the
following:
(1) The manner of determination of the surcharge for a health
care provider that establishes financial responsibility in a way
other than by a policy of malpractice liability insurance.
(2) The manner of payment of the surcharge by such a health
care provider.
(b) The surcharge calculation established under subsection (a)
must provide comparability in rates for insured and self-insured
hospitals. This surcharge may not exceed the surcharge that would
be charged by the residual authority if the health care provider
electing to establish financial responsibility in this manner had
applied to the residual authority for insurance.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.13.
