Medical Malpractice Insurance Carriers; Pennsylvania Medical Malpractice Data Call (Act 13 of 2002 Data Call)

[47 Pa.B. 919]
[Saturday, February 11, 2017]

 The Insurance Department (Department) is conducting a medical malpractice data call to study the availability of additional basic coverage capacity in the medical malpractice marketplace in this Commonwealth. This data call is required by section 711(d)(3) of the Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error (MCARE) Act (MCARE Act) (40 P.S. § 1303.711(d)(3)).

 Consistent with prior data calls promulgated under section 711(d)(3) of the MCARE Act, the cover letter, exhibits and templates are available on the Department's web site at www.insurance.pa.gov (select ''Companies,'' then ''Industry Activity,'' then ''Data Calls''). Additionally, an e-mail announcing the data call was sent on February 1, 2017, to all medical malpractice insurers with positive direct written premiums in this Commonwealth in 2015.

 Each insurer providing medical professional liability insurance in this Commonwealth is required to respond to the data call no later than March 1, 2017. Insurers with positive medical malpractice direct written premium in this Commonwealth in 2015 are identified in Exhibit 2 of the data call and a response is required from each insurer listed. Data for more than one insurer should not be combined into a single submission.

New for 2017

 The data call's questions are entirely different from prior years' data calls. Additionally, insurers now have the option to designate their National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Annual Statements as their response to the data call. If this designation is chosen, the Department will access the necessary Annual Statement data from the NAIC web site and the insurer will have no further reporting requirement.

 Questions regarding this data call should be directed to Dennis Sloand, Insurance Department, Office of Insurance Product Regulation, 1311 Strawberry Square, Harrisburg, PA 17120, (717) 214-1927, desloand@pa.gov.
