Summary
Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program. Increases the annual assessment for physicians who participate in the Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program from its current level of $5,300 to $5,600, which amount will increase thereafter to a maximum of $6,200. The annual participating hospital assessment will increase from $50 per live birth to $52.50 per live birth in 2008, which amount will increase each year thereafter by $2.50 per live birth to a maximum of $55 per live birth. The size of the board of directors of the Program is increased from seven to nine. Provision is made for covered expenses to cover therapeutic, nursing and attendant care, medications and supplies, and for attendant nursing care that is provided by the claimant's relatives when beyond what is normally provided family members of uninjured children. The measure also (i) requires that only one member of the panel of physicians be from the field of obstetrics; (ii) requires the Program to pay $3,000 per claim reviewed to the medical school that performs an assessment; and (iii) clarifies the method for calculating payments for loss of earnings.
