Recently enacted medical liability laws might have played a role in dividends paid to Arizona physicians last year, an insurance executive says.
For the first time in three years, the Mutual Insurance Company of Arizona (MICA), a physician-owned company that insures a majority of Arizona doctors, paid dividends totaling $8 million, said Dr. James Carland, MICA's chief executive. He said new state laws dealing with medical liability and malpractice have been in effect for only a short time, but it's possible that one, at least, helped the insurance company gain increased cash reserves, which resulted in the dividends.

Doctors who fail to pay a $1,000 fee meant to establish a physicians' mutual insurance company for malpractice coverage would lose their licenses under a proposal the Senate passed to the House of Delegates.
The House Education Committee, meanwhile, revived a tax on lawyers and others to recoup nearly $100 million a year. It also restored its version of a separate community and technical college system and threw in a lawsuit limit to boot.

A doctor-owned insurer, born out of doctors' frustration with the lack of affordable malpractice insurance coverage, has applied for a state license.
The application brings the Physicians Mutual Insurance Company one step closer to meeting its goal of taking over a state-run malpractice insurance program on July 1.
