The Florida Legislature sent a number of bills to the governor’s desk this session that will impact the Florida health are landscape. Health care legislation was a priority for many of Florida’s new leaders and, as a result, much of the new legislation passed with strong support from the legislature. Several new laws serve to deregulate the health care industry while new additional regulations are on the horizon for health care practitioners.

Importantly, the legislature agreed to keep statewide health care funding, like Medicaid, fairly consistent with last year. It also agreed to fund children covered under the Florida Health Kids Corp. who are subject to full-pay rates, generally making a large number of currently uninsured children eligible for coverage under the program.
