Florida S1086 aims to regulate health care services jurisdiction and reimbursement for emergency services.

Florida S1086 amends state statutes to clarify that health care providers cannot collect from patients sums owed by insurers or health maintenance organizations for emergency services. It defines "emergency services" as those necessary to prevent imminent risk to life or limb. The bill also allows nonparticipating health care providers to pursue a cause of action in quantum meruit to recover the reasonable value of emergency services rendered.
