The Florida Senate

No person issued a certificate of authority as a prepaid health clinic, other than a licensed insurer, insofar as its name is concerned, shall use in its name, contracts, or literature any of the words “health maintenance organization,” “HMO,” “insurance,” “casualty,” “surety,” or “mutual”; any other word descriptive of the health maintenance organization, insurance, casualty, or surety business; or any other word deceptively similar to the name or description of a health maintenance organization, insurance corporation, or surety corporation doing business in this state.

A person that has not been issued a certificate of authority under the provisions of this part shall not use in its name, logo, contracts, or literature the phrase “prepaid health clinic” or the initials “PHC”; nor imply, directly or indirectly, that it is a prepaid health clinic; nor hold itself out to be a prepaid health clinic.
