Office of the Commissioner of Insurance
Fiscal Estimate
for Sections Ins 17.01, 17.28 (6) relating to Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund Annual fund and Mediation Panel Fees for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015 and affecting small business
This rule change will have no significant effect on the private sector as this proposed rule reduces fees to participants in the fund by 34% from last fiscal year and slightly increases mediation panel fees to $13.50 for physicians and $2.70 per hospital bed. The fund is a segregated account and does not impact state funds. The rule decreases fund fees and slightly increases mediation panel fee and therefore will not have an effect on county, city, village, town, school district, technical college district and sewerage district fiscal liabilities and revenues.
