    Bill No. CS for CS for SB 370

    Amendment No. ___   Barcode 512324





  1         2.  Entities exempt from federal taxation under 26

  2  U.S.C. s. 501(c)(3) and community college and university

  3  clinics.

  4         3.  Sole proprietorships, group practices,

  5  partnerships, or corporations that provide health care

  6  services by licensed health care practitioners pursuant to

  7  chapters 457, 458, 459, 460, 461, 462, 463, 466, 467, 484,

  8  486, 490, 491, or part I, part III, part X, part XIII, or part

  9  XIV of chapter 468, or s. 464.012, which are wholly owned by

10  licensed health care practitioners or the licensed health care

11  practitioner and the spouse, parent, or child of a licensed

12  health care practitioner, so long as one of the owners who is

13  a licensed health care practitioner is supervising the

14  services performed therein and is legally responsible for the

15  entity's compliance with all federal and state laws. However,

16  no health care practitioner may supervise the delivery of

17  health care services beyond the scope of the practitioner's

18  license. This section does not prohibit a health care

19  practitioner from providing administrative or managerial

20  supervision for personnel purposes.

21         (4)(a)  All charges or reimbursement claims made by or

22  on behalf of a clinic that is required to be registered under

23  this section, but that is not so registered, are unlawful

24  charges and therefore are noncompensable and unenforceable. An

25  insurer may not delay payment of or deny a claim submitted by

26  a sole proprietorship, group practice, partnership or

27  corporation that is exempt under this section without

28  reasonable proof that it is required to be registered under

29  this section.
