What are the current mediation fees in IC cases?
When the mediator is agreed to by the parties, compensation will be as agreed upon between the parties and the mediator. If the mediator is not agreed to by the parties, and is then appointed by the Commission, the mediator will be paid by the parties at the rate of $125.00 per hour for mediation services at the conference. In addition, the parties will pay to the mediator a one time, per case administrative fee of $125.00. The mediator’s administrative fee will be paid in full unless, within 10 days after the date that the mediator has been appointed, written notice is given to the mediator and the Dispute Resolution Coordinator that the issues for which a request for hearing had been filed have been fully resolved or the hearing request has been withdrawn. In cases involving appointed mediators postponement fees are set at $225.00 if a mediation conference is postponed within three days of a scheduled conference, and $125.00 if a mediation conference is postponed four to seven prior
