BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

New York delays decision on medical malpractice rates

Reprints

NEW YORK—Acting New York Insurance Superintendent Kermitt Brooks on Wednesday said he will delay setting medical malpractice rates until the state Senate can weigh the issue.

The New York Assembly recently approved freezing medical malpractice insurance rates for another year, but the state Senate has yet to vote on the proposal.

The New York State Insurance Department, which usually sets medical malpractice rates in July, said in a statement that the rates will be retroactive to July 1 once rates for 2009-2010 are determined.
