Any prepaid health clinic which utilizes the services of a provider who is not licensed or otherwise authorized by law to provide such services is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

Every prepaid health clinic or provider shall display, in a prominent place in the clinic’s or provider’s waiting area at which the provider treats subscribers, a true and correct copy of the current and valid license or legal authorization of each provider.

The professional judgment of a physician licensed under chapter 458 or chapter 459 concerning the proper course of treatment of a subscriber shall not be subject to modification by the prepaid health clinic or its board of directors, officers, or administrators. However, this subsection does not prohibit a utilization management program established by a prepaid health clinic.
