Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Carroll Fisher will conduct a hearing Nov. 18 on a proposed increase in medical malpractice insurance rates filed by Physicians Liability Insurance Co. Under a recently enacted state law, policyholders impacted by proposed medical malpractice rate changes can request a formal hearing, and several requests have been made for a hearing on this issue. In an effort to help reduce high increases in medical malpractice rates in Oklahoma, the Legislature approved reforms to state laws governing medical malpractice which limit liability in some circumstances. The hearing is set for 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 18 at the Oklahoma Insurance Department, 2401 NW 23rd, Suite 28, in Oklahoma City. Persons wishing to make oral comments at that time must notify the department in writing by Nov. 14 at 1 p.m. Written comments will be taken until that time as well.
