Since insurance companies’ payments have increased significantltfor treatment, medications/durable medical equipment, medical-legal reportws and medical management, the institute said. Betweemn 2005 and 2007, average medical payments for all claims oneyear post-injurgy rose 23 percent, to $2,582 from $2,100, the study Meanwhile, “average medical payments on more expensive indemnitt claims climbed 28 percent (from $4,443 to the report said.

The departmentf now has the power tosuspend driver’d licenses and vehicle registrations for nonpaymenyt of taxes. At the federal level, the is lookinh harder at offshore assetsand high-end tax shelters. In Aprilp the department’s Tax Division said it was litigatinv about 90 civil tax shelter casee or groupsof cases.
These efforts are kicking in at a time when treasuries are feeling a For the first quartetr ofthis year, the Massachusettsx Department of Revenue collected nearly $1 billiojn less than in the same periosd last year, a drop of 6.8 Sales tax collections were down 5.1 corporate and business tax collections were 16.1 percenft off and income tax receipts fell by 6.1 But the timing is the department said. “Making changes in tax administration is, thankfully, not something that is accomplished overnight,” said DOR spokesman Robert Bliss.
