Florida Division Notices Proposed Rules 69L-8.071 and 69L-8.074


Attention:   Self-Insurers, Insurers, Claim Administrators, and Medical Service Providers.

A Notice of Proposed Rule was published for 69L-8.071 and 69L-8.074, Florida Administrative Code. The notice provides that if requested in writing, a hearing will be held Friday, September 8, 2017, 2:00 p.m., eastern time, at 2012 Capital Circle, SE, Room 102, Hartman Building, in Tallahassee, Florida.

The proposed rules incorporate updated versions of currently adopted resource materials utilized in the determination and reimbursement of the costs of medical care provided to Florida's injured employees. The proposed rules promote the efficient delivery of appropriate medical care to Florida's injured employees by reducing the potential for errors and delays resulting from the use of dated materials.
