Indiana Compensation Rating Bureau v. Technology Insurance Company

Summary

The court held that the insurer was entitled under its agreements to reimbursement-related prejudgment interest, attorneys’ fees, and expenses after prevailing on its underlying reimbursement claim. Although the Bureau was private, the statutory plan and related agreements required exhaustion of the specified administrative process, which the insurer satisfied through its underlying claim. The Department’s prolonged failure to rule on the insurer’s collateral fee requests constituted final agency action subject to judicial review, and the court remanded for the trial court to calculate and award the relief.
