Florida H0551 amends the right of medical conscience for health care providers and payors by allowing them to file complaints with the Attorney General for violations. If the Attorney General determines a violation has occurred, they may commence a civil action for damages, injunctive relief, or other appropriate relief, including attorney fees. If no action is taken within 180 days, the provider or payor may initiate their own civil action. The Attorney General can investigate by administering oaths, taking depositions, and issuing subpoenas.
