This practical guide contains precise instructions designed specifically for chiropractic clinic owners and medical providers in Florida. It offers step-by-step guidance to protect practices from liability while adapting to new legal interpretations as quickly and easily as possible.
The guide thoroughly covers:
• Fundamental Legal Changes: How the case reinterpreted which practitioners can perform billable therapy services under Florida's No-Fault Law, specifically addressing the prohibition of reimbursement for physical therapy services performed by Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs).
• Financial Risk Assessment: Why clinics continuing improper billing practices face substantial penalties, as demonstrated by RS Tampa Clinic's order to pay $690,251.44 to Geico—a liability that could threaten clinic solvency.
• Required Practice Restructuring: Specific operational changes clinics must implement, including staff recertification (converting LMTs to CCPAs), documentation modifications, and reorganization of practitioner responsibilities to maintain compliance.
When asked about the motivation behind creating this free resource, Abraham Ovadia, founder and attorney at Ovadia Law Group, explained:
"If you're running a chiropractic clinic in Florida and billing PIP, your entire business model might be at risk. The Geico ruling changes everything. I'm sharing this information at no cost so clinic owners can protect themselves before insurance companies escalate enforcement.
The reality is stark: if an LMT touches a PIP patient in your clinic, those bills are not reimbursable—period. Many practitioners have been operating this way for years, just like the clinic that Geico successfully sued, forcing them to repay thousands. When trillion-dollar insurance companies target medical practices without the resources for extensive legal defense, you must act as if your livelihood depends on it—because it does.
I've invested significant time researching these issues so you don't have to. As my mother wisely says, 'no inventes'—stop trying solutions that won't work. Review this guide, follow the advice, and you'll thank me later."
