Guide for use: | The health authority may adjust its reserve based on information that comes to hand subsequent to when the reserve was initially set, and/or based on expenses that are incurred prior to the finalisation of the claim. The amount recorded should reflect the current reserve against the medical indemnity claim at the end of the relevant financial year. |

Comments: | Insurance Statistics Australia produces a reserve estimate for current medical indemnity claims, by combining its National Claims and Policies Database (APRA 2006) data items 20 'Gross payments to date' and 22 'Gross case estimate at end of reporting period'. Addition of these two dollar amounts produces the reserve estimate, which can be mapped to the Medical Indemnity National Collection ranges (AIHW 2011). |
