You will be asked a series of questions on the following screens which will allow us to
assist you in determining the appropriate federal or state regulatory agency to address
your claim payment concerns. If it is determined your claims fall within the regulatory
authority of the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS), you will be asked to
submit up to five (5) outstanding claims for each company. If necessary, we will request
additional claims from you.
The Department of Financial Services (DFS) reviews alleged prompt pay claim payment violations
pursuant to s. 627.6131 y 641.3155
, Florida Statutes. Claims not paid or denied by the insurance company or HMO in accordance
with Florida regulations should be submitted with written documentation indicating when
the claims were received by the health plan.
