Sec. 10. PREMIUM DISCOUNT RECOUPMENT. (a) Eligibility. Effective January 1, 1999, each insurer that has filed and issued premium discounts to health care professionals pursuant to Article 5.15-4 of this code shall be eligible to elect to receive a premium tax credit in lieu of indemnification for claims filed with the Attorney General under Chapter 110, Civil Practice and Remedies Code.
(b) Amount of Tax Credit. An eligible company may elect to recoup premium discounts issued to eligible health care professionals in lieu of indemnification from the State of Texas for claims filed under Chapter 110, Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Such election shall be made as a credit that is part of the annual premium tax return filed on or before March 1, 1999. An insurer may credit the total amount of any discounts issued less any reimbursements received prior to January 1, 1999, by the insurer for claims filed under Chapter 110, Civil Practice and Remedies Code, against its premium tax under Article 4.10 of this code. The tax credit herein authorized shall be allowed at a rate not to exceed 20 percent of the credit per year for five or more successive years following the initial election made in March 1999. The balance of payments due the insurer and not claimed as a tax credit may be reflected in the books and records of the insurer as an admitted asset for all purposes, including exhibition in annual statements pursuant to Article 6.12 of this code. The tax credit allowed in any one year may not exceed the premium tax due in that year.
(c) An eligible insurer that elects to receive tax credits shall not be eligible to file claims for indemnity under Chapter 110, Civil Practice and Remedies Code after January 1, 1999. Any claims of an eligible insurer filed with the Attorney General prior to January 1, 1999, that have not been reimbursed shall also be deemed to have been waived by the insurer by making its election. An insurer that elects not to recoup its discount through tax credit will continue to remain eligible for indemnification of eligible claims under Chapter 110, Civil Practice and Remedies Code.
(d) The elections provided herein shall not affect the right of a self-insurance trust created under Article 21.49-4 of this code from seeking indemnification for eligible claims.
(e) The provisions of Article 21.46 of this code shall not apply to the credits authorized herein.
