Ohio Department of Insurance Agent / Agency Services

House Bill 215 requires medical liability providers to report closed claims data and authorized the Department to promulgate a rule outlining the procedures and reporting requirements. Rule 3901-1-64 was promulgated with an effective date of January 2, 2005. The rule requires that each authorized insurer, surplus lines insurer, risk retention group and self insurer report the costs of defending medical liability claims, and paying judgments and settlements on behalf of the health care providers and health care entities. The closed claims data must be submitted through a secured application on the Department’s web site. The rule requires that the closed claims data for the previous calendar year be reported by May 1. So by May 1, 2006, all claims closed since the rule’s effective date of January 2, 2005 must be reported through the Medical Liability Data Collection Application. Before attempting to submit information via the secured application, users may find it beneficial to review the Medical Liability Data Collection Application User Guide. While submitting information via the secured application, users will also have access to the Medical Liability Data Collection Application User Guide. If you should need assistance or have any questions, you may contact the Department at (614) 644-2635 or via e-mail at MLDC@ins.state.oh.us
