Can Providers seek payment from former subscribers for debt owed by DoctorCare for medical services received
prior to December 1, 2006?
No. Under Section 641.315, Florida Statutes, HMO subscribers are not liable to any provider of health care services
for any services covered by the HMO. Additionally, health care providers and their representatives are prohibited from
attempting to collect payment from the HMO subscribers for such services. If you are contacted by a health care provider for
such payment, you should inform the provider of this law. You may also want to send a letter regarding this problem, with a
copy of any bills you receive from such providers, to the Receiver of DoctorCare, Inc., at P.O. Drawer 10280, Tallahassee,
Florida 32302-2280. If the provider or his representative continues to pressure you for payment, please contact the Receiver
at 1-800-882-3054. Although the Receiver cannot represent you against the provider, we can assist you in informing the provider
of the relevant laws.
