<p><span><span><span>Signed into law</span></span> <span><span>by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, the PIP reform options&nbsp;take effect July 1, 2020</span></span></span><span>.</span></p>

<p><span>Mandatory</span>&nbsp;unlimited&nbsp;<span>PIP coverage has been in place since 1973. PIP&rsquo;s unlimited, lifetime medical benefits</span> <span><span><span>are paid</span></span></span> <span>regardless of fault </span>and have led to increased fraud<span>.</span> <span><span><span>As a result, Michigan auto insurance premiums are some of the highest in the nation</span></span></span><span>.</span></p>

<h3><span>Among the reforms to Michigan&rsquo;s auto insurance system are:</span></h3>

<ul>
<li>
<p><span>more</span> <strong><span>coverage choices,</span></strong></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>creation of a</span> <strong><span>fraud bureau</span></strong><span>,</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span><span><span>a</span></span> <strong><span><span>fee schedule</span></span></strong> <span><span>for the amounts health care providers can charge for auto insurance-related injuries, and,</span></span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>mandatory <strong>rate relief</strong></span> <span>for consumers and more.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>

<h3><span>Be Prepared.</span></h3>

<p>While much of the reform won&rsquo;t take effect until July 2020, it&rsquo;s not too soon to talk to your State Farm agent to review your current coverages.</p>

<p>State Farm continues to work with legislators, industry partners and other allies to promote reform solutions that benefit customers<span>.</span></p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[releases,MI,Michigan,auto reform,PIP,law,legislature,Auto,auto insurance,coverage choices,fraud bureau,rate relief,Governor Gretchen Whitmer,fee schedule,personal insurance protection,medical benefits,insurance premiums,benefit customers,fault,no-fault,insurance-related,nobillboard]]></category>
