Priority 3: Income Replacement |
Target #1: Requests for reimbursement from the Fishermen"s Fund will be paid within 30 days of receipt..
The Fund processed benefit payments for 208 claims (includes new and existing claims). A total of 604 bill payments were issued by the Fund. The Fund has been diligent in improving processing of first payments on claims under $10,000. The Fund has actively worked with injured fishermen and providers to ensure that submitted claims contain all required documentation upon initial presentation through the first 90 days via phone call or email. For FY2023, of the 241 claims submitted, 18 claims were filed and approved for benefits by P&I carriers. 4 vessel owners received reimbursement from the fund. Claims filed by fisherman are cyclical with the fishing season. The Fund receives 50 percent of its claims between July and October. The fund administration approved 175 claims of which 120 claims were approved within 30 days of receipt and 55 claims were approved for benefits past 30 days. Delayed decisions and payments were issued on 55 claims for the following reasons: 1. The Fund did not receive required medical bills, chart notes, and explanation of benefits with the claim. 2. The Fund was unable to verify a valid license or permit. 3. The Fund requested additional information and the information was not provided. In FY2021, regulation change under 8 AAC 55.010 was approved to extend initial treatment from 90 days to 120 days. In FY2010, the Fishermen"s Fund benefit limit was raised from $2,500 to $10,000 by the legislature and provided vessel owners` reimbursement of a portion of their Protection & Indemnity (P&I) insurance deductible if the injured fishermen filed a claim with the P&I insurer. In FY2019, the Legislature agreed to increase the reimbursable portion of the P&I deductible payment to $5,000 and this change became effective in FY2020. Target Last Modified: 11/14/2023 |
