7Frequently Asked Questions
Regarding the
Wyoming Medical Malpractice Reporting Forms
The medical malpractice reporting forms are included on the annual property and casualty annual
report form check list. Do all property and casualty companies have to file the reports?
No. Under Wyoming law, any insurer licensed to sell property and casualty insurance is authorized
to sell malpractice insurance. Thus, the reporting forms are included on the property and casualty
annual report form check list.
The reports are required only if the insurer has written
premium for a medical malpractice policy.
What is the definition of a health care provider?
The Department interprets “health care provider” broadly as no specific definition is provided for in
the statute. The Department requires a report for claims against any person or entity that provides
health care. This includes, but is not limited to: physicians, surgeons, nurses, hospitals,
pharmacies, pharmacists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, podiatrists and nursing homes.
If no claims have been reported to the insurer, is the insurer required to file the Wyoming Health
Care Malpractice Report Form for Individual Claims showing no claims?
No, the insurer is not required to file the Wyoming Health Care Malpractice Report Form for
Individual Claims if there are no claims. The Wyoming Health Care Malpractice Report Form for
General, Aggregate Information requires an insurer to report the number of claims. If no claims are
reported, the individual claim form is not required. The Aggregate Reporting Form is required if
there are no claims but premium has been written.
Does an insurer have to file a Wyoming Health Care Malpractice Report Form for Individual Claims
for every claim?
Yes, an insurer required to report under Wyo. Stat. § 26-3-124 must file a Wyoming Health Care
Malpractice Report Form for Individual Claims for each claim open during the relevant reporting
period. The requirement is not limited to closed claims. In addition, the insurer is required to file
an updated report on or before March 1 of each year as to the status of all claims previously
reported but not yet closed during the previous reporting year.
Will the information be treated as “confidential” by the Department?
Yes, Wyo. Stat. § 26-3-124(b) states that “any information provided to the commissioner [in these
reports] shall be confidential, including the names of health care providers and any records
pertaining thereto.” The commissioner will summarize the information on the reports in his or her
annual report to the governor. The statute authorizes the commissioner to use information in the
aggregate if necessary to protect the identity of health care providers.
