The Division has published the results of disciplinary action taken last month and, as usual, they
look a little – uh – lopsided.
In September the agency disciplined twice as many carriers (8) as providers (4). Furthermore, the
Division took a lot more hide from the carriers’ backside. The largest monetary penalty it assessed
against a provider was $7,500. In contrast, the Division assessed a penalty of $40,000 against one
carrier and a penalty of $47,000 against another.
This is in keeping with the trend. The Division’s statistics show that since January 1, 2014, it has
assessed penalties totaling $1,658,245 for insurance carriers and only $65,600 for health care
providers.
