Malpractice Payouts in Pennsylvania Rose in 2004:
"In 2004, insurers reported paying out $448 million, a 13.5 percent jump from $394.5 million reported in 2003, according to the U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration. The 2004 figure broke the previous record, which had been set in 2001.
The increase in 2004 came after two years of decline. One researcher said he thinks payouts are climbing steadily, but that the steep increase in 2004 also was bumped up by delayed reporting of some payments made the previous year."
