Reporting Requirements
All malpractice claims settled or adjudicated to final judgment against a health care provider must be reported to the Commissioner by the plaintiff's attorney and by the health care provider or the health care provider’s insurer or risk manager within 60 days following final disposition. The report must state the:
- Nature of the claim;
- Damages asserted and alleged injury;
- Attorney’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with the claim or defense; and
- Amount of any settlement or judgment.
For information or assistance with settled or adjudicated claim reporting contact PCFClaims@idoi.IN.gov.
PCF Reporting Forms
The forms for reporting settled or adjudicated claims to the PCF are published in Bulletin 119.
The Commissioner urges parties to immediately report claims considered closed or disposed of by the parties for any other reason (dismissed, withdrawn, dropped, etc.), so that the Department's file can be closed and accurately reflect the claim status.
