‘Medical funding companies’ inflating insurance payouts | Louisiana
SUMMARY: In a recent House Joint Insurance Committee hearing, attorney James Prather highlighted the issue of inflated insurance payout claims in Louisiana. During the “Operation Sideswipe” case, a third-party medical funding company billed defendants $720,000 despite actual costs being $240,000. Louisiana’s legal environment, influenced by the collateral source rule and the Civil Justice Reform Act of 2020, attracts such companies, driving up auto insurance premiums, which are the highest in the U.S. Tim Temple from the Louisiana Department of Insurance stated that inflated claims and a lack of competition among insurers exacerbate the problem. Reducing litigation and accidents is essential for lower rates.
