- Proposed Rules (4)
-
The proposed rule amends the existing rule to adopt and incorporate by reference the 2016 Edition of the Florida Workers’ Compensation Health Care Provider Reimbursement Manual, as approved by the Three-Member panel on April 20, 2016, pursuant to paragraph 440.13(12)(a), F.S. The aforementioned manual is updated to incorporate the 2016 Medicare Conversion Factor and Resource Based-Relative Value Scale (RBRVS) geographic-specific reimbursement levels used to determine Maximum Reimbursement Allowances (MRAs) for physician’s services and non-surgical hospital outpatient services provided to Florida’s injured workers.
-
The proposed rule incorporates and adopts for use the 2016 Edition of the Florida Workers’ Compensation Reimbursement Manual for Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASC Reimbursement Manual), as approved by the Three-Member Panel on April 20, 2016, pursuant to paragraph 440.13(12)(a), F.S. The 2016 Edition of the ASC Reimbursement Manual contains an updated list of the Maximum Reimbursement Allowances (MRAs) for various medical services provided to Florida’s injured workers.
-
The proposed rule incorporates the 2016 Edition of the Florida Workers’ Compensation Reimbursement Manual for Hospitals (Manual), as approved by the Three-Member Panel during a scheduled meeting held on April 20, 2016, pursuant to paragraph 440.13(12)(a), F.S. The 2016 Edition of the Manual increases the per diem reimbursement rates for surgical and non-surgical hospital inpatient services and the threshold dollar amount triggering Stop-Loss reimbursement above reimbursement allowances specified in
the 2014 Edition of the Manual, as adopted by the existing rule. The 2016 Edition of the Manual also provides an updated fee schedule for various categories of hospital outpatient services based on the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) line level charge data, with an adjustment of the Maximum Reimbursement Allowance (MRA) based on the geographic location of the service provider.

This amendment aligns the rule with changes in House Bill 7069, making it consistent with governing law.
- Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Rule Variance or Waiver (3)
-
On September 20, 2016 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for Paragraph 61C-4.010(7) Florida Administrative Code and Paragraph 61C-4.010(6), Florida Administrative Code from Grab and Go Home Cooking LLC located in Tallahassee. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that at least one accessible bathroom be provided for use by customers. They are requesting to share the bathrooms located within a nearby establishment under a different ownership for use by customers only.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 42/185 on 09/22/2016. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on date 09/29/2016. After a complete review of the variance request, the Division finds that the application of this Rule will create a financial hardship to the food service establishment. Furthermore, the Division finds that the Petitioner meets the burden of demonstrating that the underlying statute has been achieved by the Petitioner ensuring the bathrooms located within Texaco at 4015 Fred George Road, Tallahassee FL, 32303, are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and are provided with cold running water under pressure, soap, approved hand drying devices, and are available during all hours of operation. The Petitioner shall also ensure directional signage is installed within or outside the establishment clearly stating the location of the bathrooms. If the ownership of Grab and Go Home Cooking (Grab and Go Home Cooking, LLC) and/or Texaco (Gas Consultants of Florida, LLC) changes, an updated signed agreement for use of the bathroom facilities will be required immediately.
