PUBLIC NOTICE
Department of Financial Services
Assessment of public comments for 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(c), (e), and (f) (Insurance Regulation 68-D)
The Department received comments in response to its request in the August 21, 2013 issue of the New York State Register for comments on certain provisions of Insurance Regulation 68-D relating to attorney’s fees. The Department received comments from the following entities:
Property/casualty insurers;
A trade association of New York property/casualty insurers;
Attorneys representing healthcare providers;
Healthcare providers; and
The American Arbitration Association.
Summaries of the comments and the Department’s responses thereto are as follows:
Insurers strongly oppose any modification to the subject provisions of Insurance Regulation 68-D on the basis of the following arguments: (1) given the constant increase in the backlog of no-fault disputes in the courts and the arbitration system over the past several years, an increase in attorney’s fees would create even more incentive to clog the courts and arbitration forums with no-fault filings; (2) amendments to the no-fault regulation to stem the rampant fraud in and abuse of the no-fault system by healthcare providers and their attorneys should take precedence over any amendments to the attorney’s fee provisions of the regulation; and (3) attorneys representing providers would have more incentive to defraud the no-fault system by collecting fees pursuant to the regulation while entering into separate retainer agreements with providers for the same service.
Providers and attorneys representing providers (“provider attorneys”) overwhelmingly support changes to the attorney’s fees provisions of Insurance Regulation 68-D on the basis of the following contentions: (1) the current attorney’s fees are grossly inadequate because there has been no increase since 1988; (2) the unreasonably low attorney’s fees permit insurers to engage in dilatory claims handling practices, increasing the volume and complexity of no-fault disputes and thwarting the prompt resolution of no-fault claims; and (3) an increase in attorney’s fees would not be passed on to consumers because attorney’s fees that are payable when a claimant prevails in court or arbitration are not part of rate-making.
The Department believes that revisions to the attorney’s fees provisions are necessary to curtail the increase in filings of low monetary value claims in court and arbitration proceedings, which will help reduce fraud and abuse in the no-fault system, as well as result in a more efficient and equitable resolution of no-fault disputes. Specifically, the Department will propose to eliminate the $60 minimum attorney’s fee prescribed in 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(c), and to revise the reasonable attorney’s fee prescribed in 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(e), which is 20 percent of the total amount of first-party benefits, plus interest thereon, up to a maximum of $850, by raising the maximum. Eliminating the minimum fee and establishing a new reasonable maximum fee would likely encourage provider attorneys to consolidate disputed claims whenever feasible.
Comments on the specific attorney’s fee provisions of Insurance Regulation 68-D are discussed below.
Providers and their attorneys asserted that the $60 minimum fee prescribed in 11 NYCRR Section 65 4.6(c) awarded to an attorney who prevails in court or at arbitration is unreasonably low. Most of them recommended that the minimum fee be increased to $250. Other attorneys suggested an increase of between $120 and $200.
One attorney asserted that eliminating the minimum attorney’s fee and only awarding fees as a percentage of a claim would result in insurers improperly reducing payments on small value claims or denying them altogether, because attorneys would be reluctant to expend time and resources to challenge those small value claims because of the low amount of fees being awarded on those claims.
Department’s Response
The Department disagrees that the $60 minimum attorney’s fee should be increased. The proponents of such an increase failed to provide any persuasive arguments in support of an increase or to explain how an increase would result in the prompt resolution of claims at arbitration and in court. The Department also disagrees that eliminating the $60 minimum attorney’s fees would result in insurers improperly reducing payment on small monetary value claims. The potential for appropriate disciplinary action by the Department should deter insurers from improperly reducing payment of numerous small dollar claims.
The Department believes that eliminating the minimum attorney’s fee will decrease the excessive individual filings of low monetary value claims.
Comments
Several insurers recommended that the minimum attorney’s fee be eliminated so as to reduce the excessive filings of individual low value claims solely to generate attorney’s fees, which result in insurers settling claims they otherwise would have contested were it not for the cost of litigating each claim. Two insurers and the trade organization representing property/casualty insurers recommended that the regulation be amended to require providers and their attorneys to file only one action for all disputed claims that arise out of the same accident and involve the same injured person. One of those insurers also recommended that there be a limit of one attorney’s fee awarded per arbitration or lawsuit, regardless of the number of healthcare providers involved in the dispute.
Department’s Response
The Department agrees that eliminating the minimum attorney’s fee would result in the reduction of individual filings of low monetary value claims. However, the $850 maximum attorney’s fee prescribed in 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(e) also would need to be increased in order to encourage the consolidation of these low value claims into one action. Those changes to the current fee structure should reduce the backlog of pending lawsuits and arbitrations, as well as permit arbitrators to trace and address patterns of abusive and/or fraudulent practices of providers and insurers. However, the Department rejects the recommendation to amend the regulation to limit the number of actions that a healthcare provider may commence, because to do so would violate Insurance Law Section 5106(b), which grants an applicant the option to bring any dispute to arbitration, and deprive providers of due process.
Several providers and their attorneys recommended that the first-party benefits plus interest awarded as attorney’s fees in no-fault disputes be increased from the prescribed 20 percent to 40 percent, subject to a maximum of $2,500 rather than the currently prescribed $850 maximum. One attorney suggested that the maximum fee be increased to $1,950, and another attorney recommended an increase to $2,000. Another provider attorney recommended that the maximum fee be increased to $1,650 plus a $130 appearance fee, provided that an attorney be given the option of pursuing attorney’s fees pursuant to 11 NYCRR Section 65 4.6(e) or pursuant to 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(d), which prescribes an hourly rate of $70 subject to a maximum fee of $1,400 for arbitrating or litigating a coverage dispute. That attorney also recommended that the hourly rate be increased to $135 subject to a maximum of fee of $2,700. One insurer also suggested increasing the maximum fee from $850 to $1,500 in order to encourage provider attorneys to consolidate disputed claims into a single action, but only for those actions that meet an amount in dispute threshold of $7,500 or more. All the other insurers and a trade association representing property/casualty insurers strongly opposed any increase in the maximum attorney’s fee.
Department’s Response
The Department agrees that the maximum fee should be increased, but believes that any increase in the percentage would be unreasonable, because such an increase would further discourage provider attorneys from consolidating disputed claims into one action where feasible. The Department also rejects the suggestion that an attorney be given the option of pursuing attorney’s fees under either 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(d) or 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(e). Because 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(d) applies to adjudications of coverage disputes, which generally involve complex legal issues that require more preparation and appearances than the typical no-fault dispute subject to 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(e), the Department believes that there should be a distinction between the fee schemes for the two types of cases.
The Department believes that in order to sufficiently address the concerns of providers and their attorneys, as well as motivate them to consolidate disputes where feasible to resolve them efficiently, 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(e) should be amended to increase the maximum attorney’s fee. Such an amendment is more likely to result in the efficient processing and resolution of no-fault claims that is equitable to both providers and insurers.
11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(f) (“Exception to Prescribed Attorney’s Fees”)
Comment
11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(f) permits an arbitrator or a court to award attorney’s fees in excess of those prescribed in the rest of 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6 when the arbitrator or court has determined that the issues in dispute were so novel or unique as to require extraordinary skills or services to handle the dispute. A provider attorney recommended eliminating the requirement that the dispute be novel or unique in order for a court to award attorney’s fees that differ from the prescribed fees. According to that attorney, the “novel or unique” requirement suggests that the fee would only apply to “new” or “one-of-a-kind” issues, and, the attorney notes, there have been only two cases in which attorney’s fees under this provision have been granted.
Department’s Response
The Department disagrees with this comment. The provision was specifically intended to be applied only in novel or unique cases, which should be rare.
Comments
One insurer recommended that the provision be repealed because it has the potential to lead to increased litigation and meritless awards where attorneys overstate their efforts in an attempt to collect a higher fee.
Conversely, another insurer opined that the provision is necessary to ensure that an attorney receives a reasonable fee, thus eliminating the need to otherwise increase attorney’s fees.
Department’s Response
The Department is not persuaded by the assertion that this provision will lead to increased litigation and meritless awards, because, although this provision has been in effect for many years, it has rarely been applied, in keeping with the intent of the provision.
Although the Department agrees with the comment that the provision is necessary to ensure that an attorney receives a reasonable fee, for the reasons discussed above, the Department believes it is still necessary to increase attorney’s fees elsewhere in the regulation, rather than simply rely on this provision.
Other Comments on Insurance Regulation 68-D Regarding Attorney’s Fees
Comments
The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) stated that the maximum fees of $60 and $80 prescribed in 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(b) that can be awarded during the conciliation phase of the arbitration process should be eliminated based on the following: (1) as a result of a regulatory change made ten years ago requiring early submission of case documents and legal arguments in arbitration (the “rocket docket” phase) and the need to fulfill any additional requirements set forth on the arbitration request form, the current maximum attorney’s fee is not commensurate with the increase in the amount of work an attorney must expend upon filing and during the conciliation phase of an arbitration case; (2) elimination of the current maximum attorney’s fee would eliminate the disparity in attorney’s fees awarded in court as opposed to arbitration; and (3) provider attorneys no longer would have an incentive to avoid settlement during conciliation solely to obtain a higher attorney’s fee award at arbitration. The AAA recommended that the Department consider whether the attorney’s fees for cases resolved during the conciliation phase should be treated more like the attorney’s fees for cases resolved in court or arbitration.
Several provider attorneys also recommended that the lower attorney’s fees awarded during the conciliation phase be eliminated and replaced with the minimum and maximum attorney’s fees permitted during the arbitration phase.
One provider attorney proposed that the maximum attorney’s fee during the conciliation phase be increased to $400. One attorney was concerned that the repeal of the current minimum attorney’s fee permitted under 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(c) would result in insurers issuing partial denials so that the amount denied would be too small to make it worthwhile for attorneys to contest each denial.
Department’s Response
Although the Department did not publish 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(b) for review and comment, the Department agrees that the current maximum attorney’s fee permitted during the conciliation phase of the arbitration process should be eliminated and that there should be no distinction between the conciliation phase and arbitration phase in determining the amount of attorney’s fees to be awarded. This amendment also should encourage provider attorneys to consolidate claims where feasible. In addition, this should alleviate the concern regarding the repeal of the current minimum attorney’s fee, because the attorney’s fee will not be limited to $80 during the conciliation phase when numerous small disputed claims for the same injured person are consolidated into one arbitration request.
Comment
A provider attorney recommended that the $70 hourly rate and $1,400 maximum fee prescribed in 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(d) for arbitrating or litigating a coverage dispute be increased to $135 and $2,700, respectively.
Department's Response
Although 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(d) was not one of the provisions that the Department published for review and comment, the Department will consider the comment.
Comment
Several provider attorneys recommended that the current attorney’s fees for master arbitration as prescribed in 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(j) be increased. One attorney specifically proposed that the $65 hourly rate for preparatory services be increased to $125, that the $60 minimum fee and the $650 maximum fee be increased to $120 and $1,250, respectively, and that the $80 hourly rate for oral arguments be increased to $155.
Department’s Response
Although 11 NYCRR Section 65-4.6(j) was not one of the provisions that the Department published for review and comment, the Department will consider these comments.
Comment
Several provider attorneys recommended that the no-fault regulation be amended to provide attorney’s fees for appearances at examinations under oath, depositions, and various other phases in the litigation and appeals processes.
Department’s Response
Although the subject of the above-mentioned comment is not covered by the provisions that the Department published for review and comment, the Department will consider the comment.
PUBLIC NOTICE

Department of Taxation And Finance Interest Rates
The Commissioner of Taxation and Finance hereby sets the interest rates for the months of April, May, June, 2014 pursuant to sections 697(j) and 1096(e) of the Tax Law, as follows:
For purposes of section 697(j) the overpayment rate of interest is set at 2 percent per annum, and the underpayment rate of interest is set at 7.5 percent per annum. For purposes of section 1096(e), the overpayment rate of interest is set at 2 percent per annum, and the underpayment rate of interest is set at 7.5 percent per annum. (The underpayment rates set pursuant to sections 697(j) and 1096(e) may not be less than 7.5 percent per annum.) Pursuant to section 1145(a)(1) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for State and local sales and use taxes administered by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance is 14.5 percent per annum. The underpayment rate for the special assessments on hazardous waste imposed by section 27-0923 of the Environmental Conservation Law is 15 percent.
For the interest rates applicable to overpayments (refunds) and underpayments (late payments and assessments) of the following taxes administered by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance for the period April 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014, see the table below:
4/1/14 - 6/30/14 Interest Rate Per Annum Compounded Daily
* The Tax Law requires the interest rate on sales tax assessments or late payments to be set at 14-1/2% for this quarter. However, if the Commissioner determines that the failure to pay or the delay in payment is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, the Commissioner may impose interest at the corporation tax late payment and assessment rate. That rate is 7.5% for this quarter.
** There are a number of state and local governmental bodies that have interest rates tied to the overpayment and underpayment rates contained in either section 697(j) (Income Tax) or section 1096(e) (Corporation Tax) of the Tax Law. For purposes of section 697(j) and section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the overpayment rate for this period is 2%. For purposes of section 697(j) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is 7.5%. For purposes of section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is also 7.5%.
*** Under section 527(f) of the Tax Law, the interest rates relating to the Fuel Use tax are set pursuant to the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA). For more information regarding IFTA interest rates, see www.iftach.org.
