The reform measure “places the Medical Professional Liability Catastrophe Loss Fund (CAT Fund) under an independent authority, Provides for payoff of the CAT Fund’s estimated $2.1 billion unfunded liability, caps future CAT Fund surcharges, and phases out the CAT Fund in six years,” said the announcement.
