FL S0080

Creates section 624.27 of Florida Statutes to establish a framework for direct primary care agreements between primary care providers and patients or employers.

Direct primary care agreements are exempt from regulation under the Florida Insurance Code and do not require providers to obtain insurance licenses or certificates of authority.

Direct primary care agreements must be written, signed by both parties, allow 30-day termination notice, and specify the scope of covered services, monthly fees, and duration.

Agreements must include a prominent disclaimer (12-point contrasting type) stating the arrangement is not health insurance, does not satisfy Affordable Care Act minimum coverage requirements, and does not replace workers' compensation insurance.

Providers must offer refunds of prepaid monthly fees if they cease providing primary care services for any reason.
