Senate Committee Interim Projects Affect Health Insurers
The Florida Senate will conduct several interim projects in anticipation of the 2012 session that may be of interest to health insurers. In particular, the following projects relating to Health Regulation may have direct or indirect impacts on the health insurance market:
Review 24-hour Admissions Limitations in Ambulatory Surgical Centers
Review Consolidating, Eliminating, or Reorganizing Health Related State Agencies
Review Eligibility of Dentist Licensure in Florida and Other Jurisdictions
Review Regulatory Oversight of Assisted Living Facilities in Florida

The Senate also will monitor the effectiveness of legislation passed during the 2011 session. Among the bills slated to be monitored this fall are the new Medicaid Managed Care Legislation and Regulating Controlled Substances in Pain Management.
