March 31st, 2008    Posted by: Dr. Dobson

An integral part of some state and local health system reform efforts has hit a major stumbling block. The business community has taken employer mandates to court.

These state and local laws require businesses to spend a certain amount on workers’ health care coverage or put that money into a fund to provide access for the uninsured.

While physicians in some states will see a break in their medical liability premiums next year, Maryland insurance officials are questioning a proposal by the state’s largest medical liability insurance carrier to issue a credit to its physician policyholders on Jan. 1, 2008.

In a Sept. 13 order, Maryland Insurance Commissioner Ralph S. Tyler halted Medical Mutual Liability Insurance Society of Maryland’s plans to pay a portion of a $68.6 million dividend to policyholders as a premium discount.
