Sec. 3. (a) The surcharge shall be collected on the same basis as premiums by each insurer, risk manager, or surplus lines producer. (b) The surcharge is due and payable within thirty (30) days after the premium for malpractice liability insurance has been received by the insurer, risk manager, or surplus lines producer from a health care provider in Indiana. If a surcharge is not paid as required by this section, the insurer, risk manager, or surplus lines producer responsible for the delinquency is liable for the surcharge plus a penalty equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount of the surcharge. (c) If the annual premium surcharge is not paid within the time limit specified in subsection (b), the certificate of authority of the insurer, risk manager, and surplus lines producer shall be suspended until the annual premium surcharge is paid.
