House Votes on HB 783
Senate Votes on SB 248
Medical Negligence - FAILED (AARP Opposed)
Medicaid Managed Care Plan Performance Metrics - FAILED (AARP Supported)
House Bill 783, by Representatives Berfield & Steele (companion Senate Bill 794, by Senator Harrell, never had a hearing). The legislation would have created section 409.9673, Florida Statutes. The legislation would have required the Agency for Health Care Administration to produce and publish quarterly data on Medicaid managed care plan performance. It would have included data on provider credentialing, prior authorization processing, claims payment and complaints.
Senate Bill 248, by Senator Yarborough. The legislation would have amended sections of Chapters 400, 429, 766, and 768, Florida Statutes. The legislation would have revised medical negligence laws with respect to noneconomic damage limits or caps, as well as patients’ rights to the recovery of damages. It would have removed a statutory limitation that prevents adult children or parents of adult children from recovering certain damages in medical negligence suits, which AARP generally supports. However, AARP Florida OPPOSED this bill because it would have imposed caps on noneconomic damages in medical negligence cases (excluding claims against nursing homes and assisted living facilities), which would likely disproportionately affect the ability of low-income older and vulnerable adults to hold medically negligent healthcare providers accountable.
