Section 10a-194f - Captive Insurance Demonstration Program Grant Fund.
(a) The Connecticut Health and Educational Facilities Authority shall allocate from its reserves an amount not to exceed one million five hundred thousand dollars in the aggregate for a period not to exceed three years to establish a Captive Insurance Demonstration Program Grant Fund. The fund shall be used to provide grants to nonprofit hospitals that establish a captive insurer or expand coverage offered by an existing captive insurer in order to provide medical malpractice indemnity or insurance to physicians and surgeons who enjoy privileges at the hospitals. The fund may cover legal, actuarial, consulting and other costs associated with providing such indemnity or insurance. Any amount in the fund that is not expended at the end of the three-year period shall revert to the authority’s reserves.
(b) Grants shall be awarded based on the size and financial resources of the hospitals. Grants shall not exceed seven hundred fifty thousand dollars per captive insurer and shall not be used to establish or expand more than two captive insurers. No hospital shall be eligible for a grant under this section unless it agrees to provide the authority, on a periodic basis as determined by the authority but not less than annually, information on the captive insurer’s performance including, but not limited to, premiums charged, captive insurer operating costs, claims experience, the estimated savings over methods of insurance used by the hospital prior to the creation of the captive insurer, and other information required by the authority.
(c) Not later than February 1, 2005, and annually thereafter until February 1, 2008, the authority shall complete a report that includes an analysis of the information submitted to the authority by hospitals that receive a grant pursuant to this section. The report shall be made available to the public and the authority shall annually submit the report to the General Assembly in accordance with section 11-4a.
