BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

The Texas Department of Insurance adopted the National Council on Compensation Insurance’s advisory loss cost filing that proposes an average decrease of 11%, effective July 1.

According to a bulletin the department issued Friday, insurance companies must use either the NCCI loss costs or their own independent, insurer-specific classification relativities as bases for all workers compensation policies written with an effective date on or after July 1.

The department said insurance companies may not base their rates on the NCCI loss costs from July 1, 2023, or any prior year’s loss costs or relativities.
