Tallahassee – CS for HB 119C by Rep. Boyd, a bill which provides emergency room care for only very serious auto injuries within 72 hours of the accident, passed out of the House Civil Justice Subcommittee on Wednesday morning. Purchase of this proposed coverage would mean that less than very serious injuries won’t be paid for, choice of doctors would be denied and no DC treatment would be allowed. The bill is opposed by all of our coalition partners, including the FMA, FOMA, FJA and other provider groups. Nevertheless, the bill passed out of the Civil Justice Subcommittee on a straight party-line vote, 10-5, with no amendments allowed by the Republican leadership in the House. The FCA team was on hand to testify against it, along with volunteer leaders Drs. Jeff Morrison, Chip Smith and Dennis Fiorini.
