Licensure Is The Law
According to Florida's "Health Care Clinic Act" of 2003, all Florida clinics that have non-physician owners must have a license. The Act only applies to entities which seek reimbursement from third party payors, private or governmental. Cashed based providers are not required to be licensed under the Act. As a general rule, every clinic must obtain a license from the Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA).
The penalties for operating an unlicensed clinic are severe. The Act provides that operating an unlicensed clinic is a third degree felony, with each day of operation being a separate offense.If an individual has an interest in more than one clinic and fails to obtain a license for any of the clinics, ACHA may revoke the license for all of the clinics. There are fines involved (up to $5000 per day) and all reimbursement claims made on behalf of an unlicensed clinic are considered unlawful charges.
