M.O. v. Indiana Dept. of Insurance, Indiana Patient's Compensation Fund

OPINION

SHARPNACK, Senior Judge.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

This case presents issues of which of two statutes sets the interest rate on payments by the Indiana Department of Insurance Patient’s Compensation Fund (“the Fund”) to successful malpractice claimants and of when interest begins to accrue on payments due. 1 The trial court concluded that Indiana Code section 24-4.6-1-101 (1993), with its eight percent rate, applied and that interest began to accrue on the fifteenth day of the month following the end of the claim period in which the claim was filed with the Fund. We agree and affirm.
