Florida Rates Will Decrease in 2016

The following is quoted from an NCCI release:

OIR Issues Order on NCCI's Florida Workers Compensation Rate Filing

On August 19, 2015, the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) proposed an overall workers compensation rate level decrease of 1.9% in Florida effective January 1, 2016. On November 3, 2015, the Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) issued an order denying the 1.9% decrease and requesting NCCI make an amended filing for an overall workers compensation rate level decrease of 5.1% effective January 1, 2016.


The 3.2% difference between NCCI's filing of 1.9% and the OIR's request for an amended filing of 5.1% is due to the inclusion of a 0.1% decrease associated with the Reimbursement Manual for Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and the disapproval of profit and contingency provision, expense constant component; and, indemnity trend.

The OIR's order requested that NCCI amend its filing by November 9, 2015.

NCCI is currently in the process of reviewing the order and making a decision on how to respond.

Governor DeSantis Closes the Curtain on COVID Theater

March 7, 2022 Today, Governor Ron DeSantis was joined by Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and world-renowned physicians and epidemiologists to discuss the failures of lockdowns and mandates in response to COVID-19. Lockdown politicians and the medical establishment have continually ignored data, instead choosing to stoke fear and push for lockdowns and mask mandates in their fruitless attempts to “stop the spread.” “Over the past two years, the data has shown us what works and what doesn’t work. It is long past time to stop the COVID Theater,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “In Florida, we told the truth, we let the data drive our response, and we let Floridians make decisions for themselves and their children. As a result, Florida is in a better spot than states who used fear mongering and mandates." Under the leadership of Governor DeSantis, Florida has continued to stay ahead of the federal government by following sound science – not coercion,” said Surgeon General Dr. Joseph La...
