Indianapolis – On February 22, 2022, Indiana Department of Insurance (IDOI) Commissioner Amy L. Beard issued Bulletin 263 outlining the 2022-2023 annual surcharge rates for healthcare providers to pay into the Indiana Patient’s Compensation Fund (PCF) to be qualified under Indiana’s Medical Malpractice Act. Â
For physicians and hospitals, the overall surcharge will not change from the current rates. Â The surcharge rates are effective for coverage beginning July 1, 2022.
The PCF is a dedicated fund administered by the IDOI as a component of the Indiana Medical Malpractice Act. It provides excess payments of damages to patients who have experienced medical malpractice and excess medical professional liability coverage to participating healthcare providers in Indiana. The PCF is funded by a surcharge paid as part of a health care provider’s liability insurance premium.
For more information about surcharge calculations, you can find the complete Bulletin 263 on the Indiana Department of Insurance website at www.in.gov/idoi on the Insurance Laws, Rules & Bulletins page.
Aces pick up 8th win of 2022
 HATTIESBURG, Miss. – In the second day of the Hub City Challenge, the University of Evansville softball team split a pair of games, erupting for an 11-0 win over Alcorn State before dropping the second game of the day – a 7-2 decision to Southern Mississippi.
Game 1 – UE 11, Alcorn State 0 (5 innings)
UE scored four times in the first inning and pulled away to finish with an 11-0 win over the Braves to open the day. Alexa Davis walked to lead the game off and would score on a passed ball later in the inning. The big hit came off the bat of Marah Wood, who drilled a 3-run homer to center field to bring in Jessica Fehr and Sydney Weatherford.
Things remained 4-0 in favor of the Aces until the fourth when four more runs crossed the plate. Once again, it was Davis leading off and delivering a double. Weatherford followed with an RBI double to bring in the fifth run of the day. A bases-clearing double by Jenna Nink made it an 8-0 score. In the fifth, the Aces put the finishing touch on the game, extending the lead to 11-0.
Bella Coffey recorded an RBI double to score Elyse Hickey before Brooke McCorkle delivered a 2-run home run to score Coffey and make it an 11-0 game. Alcorn State had one reach base in the bottom of the fifth before Izzy Vetter shut the door and finished with the shutout. Vetter pitched 4 2/3 innings to earn the win. She struck out ten batters. Nink was a perfect 3-3 at the plate with three RBI while Wood matched her RBI total. Davis, Weatherford and Jessica Fehr each scored twice.
Game 2 – Southern Miss 7, UE 2
Southern Miss limited the Aces to two runs on four hits to finish with a 7-2 win. Hannah Hood scored a pair of runs in the contest. The Golden Eagles plated two runs in both the first and second innings before Evansville got on the board in the third. Hood reached on a walk and would score on a USM error.
Following another USM run in the fourth, the Aces got it right back in the fifth when Hood came home for the second time on a Sydney Weatherford single down the right-field line. UE threatened in the top of the sixth as Marah Wood hit a leadoff double, but was stranded at second.  Southern Miss took advantage, plating two more in the sixth to finish off the win. USM starter Morgan Leinstock pitched the complete game and struck out eight. Paige McAllister made the start for UE and allowed four runs, three earned, in three frames.  Weatherford threw the final three innings and gave up the final three runs.
USM and UE meet up again play in a noon contest.

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball clinched its first regular-season conference title since 2000-01 with a 68-42 Great Lakes Valley Conference win over visiting Lindenwood University Saturday at Screaming Eagles Arena.
The Screaming Eagles (22-4, 16-2 GLVC) held the Lions to just 12-of-57 (.211) shooting and to just 12 first-half points as they cruised to their fifth straight win as well as the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye in next week’s GLVC Tournament.
USI held Lindenwood to just four points and 2-of-21 (.095) shooting throughout the final 14 minutes of the first half as it took a commanding 27-12 lead into the intermission.
Lindenwood (11-15, 8-12 GLVC), which is joining the Eagles in the jump to NCAA Division I and the Ohio Valley Conference next season, kept pace with USI throughout the first 15 minutes of the second half, but USI closed the game with a 12-2 run to clinch the victory.
USI got scoring contributions from 10 different players, including at least six points or more from seven different players. Junior forward Hannah Haithcock(Washington Courthouse, Ohio) and senior forward Ashlynn Brown (Perrysburg, Ohio) each had 11 points to lead the Eagles, while sophomore forward Meredith Raley (Haubstadt, Indiana) had 10 points.
Playing in their final home games, fifth-year senior guards Ashley Hunter (Flossmoor, Illinois) and Emma DeHart (Indianapolis, Indiana) finished with eight and four points, respectively. DeHart, Hunter and senior manager Amanda Lewandowski (Bloomington, Indiana) were honored following the game—Brown is returning for her NCAA-granted COVID year in 2022-23.
Senior forward Ellen McCorkle led the Lions with 14 points, while senior guard Julia Ruzevich, who had 33 points in Lindenwood’s win over the University of Indianapolis, finished with six points and 12 rebounds.
USI, which committed just four turnovers in the contest, will await the results of Monday’s first-round GLVC Tournament games to find out who its opponent will be in the quarterfinals Thursday at First Community Arena in Edwardsville, Illinois.
1920   Indiana Education leaders announced that the 30-year school consolidation plan had reduced the number of one-room schools from over 8,000 to less than 5,000. It was noted that Marion County had only nine one-room schools still in operation, while many rural counties, such as Harrison, Monroe, Orange, and Crawford, still had over 125 each.
1933   Virginia Jenckes from Terre Haute became the first woman from Indiana to serve in the United States House of Representatives. She was an energetic advocate for women and strongly supported flood-control legislation and the repeal of prohibition. After serving three terms, she remained in Washington to work for the Red Cross, where she helped create the nation’s first blood bank.
1970  Famed violinist Isaac Stern was a guest soloist with conductor Izler Solomon and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. The Indianapolis News review stated the “audience in Butler University’s Clowes Hall was obviously moved by the experience and gave the soloist and . . . all those involved an extended ovation at the conclusion.”
