Health Insurance Claims Bill Victory
After strong efforts by FAC and others, the bill carrying our EMS Direct Pay language, SB 1012, has passed out of the House and Senate and is on its way to the Governor. The bill authorizes the payment of health insurance policy benefits directly to a licensed ambulance provider. This was a priority issue for FAC’s Health and Humans Services Policy Committee and will save counties millions of dollars throughout the state. Very special thanks to Terry Meek with the Florida Ambulance Association, Jeff Scott with the Florida Medical Association, Sandy Mortham and our bill sponsors, Senator Gaetz and Representative Galvano for all of their hard work.
