In a good article by Julie Patel of the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinal, the bill that is now in the Senate version is also being slammed by the CAN.They say that a Primary MD is excluded from the bill which puts the onus on the  ER Md’s and going to the ER is already crazy and takes hours. This could also shift the cost of care from the Autopolicy to the Health Insurance policy which will benefit the Auto  Insurance carriers and their profits.This will be interesting to see the final bill if the Legislators in Tallahassee can actually agree on doing something this session. PIP Fraud is real and is a huge problem, but Tallahassee and the Insurance commissioner have dodged this bullet for many years. Governor Rick Scott wants change and I think we all agree that change is a must, so we shall see.

PIP Fraud is definitlely on the front Burner in Tallahasse as Legislators get the whole story from The Consumer Advocate  Robin Wescott. The Insurance companies will have to fork over the info they have, but it is estimated that the Insurance companies have lost at least 1/2 a billion dollars in the last 2 years and that number is likely to get bigger.What we have here is a system that needs to be revamped, but in the meantime while redistricting goes on, rates will have to increase in Fort lauderdale and  all over Florida. Please read the story by Julie Patel of the Fort lauderdale Sun Sentinal in her continuing story about Pip Fraud going wild in Florida. Please call L & S Insurance for al of your Home, Auto,Flood, Business & Commercial and even Life Insurance quotes as well.
