FLORIDA MOTOR VEHICLE NO-FAULT LAW (10) An insurer may negotiate and enter into contracts with licensed health care providers for the benefits described in this section, referred to in this section as preferred providers,@ which shall include health care providers licenses under chapters 458, 459, 460, 461 and 463. The insurer may provide an option to an insured to use a preferred provider at the time of purchase of the policy for personal injury protection benefits, if the requirements of this subsection are met. If the insured elects to use a provider who is not a preferred provider, whether the insured purchased a preferred provider policy or a non-preferred provider policy, the medical benefits provided by the insurer shall be as required by this section. If the insured elects to use a provider who is a preferred provider, the insurer may pay medical benefits in excess of the benefits required by this section and may waive or lower the amount of any deductible that applies to such medical benefits. If the insurer offers a preferred provider policy to a policyholder or applicant, it must also offer a non-preferred provider policy. The insurer shall provide each policyholder with a current roster of preferred providers in the county in which the insured resides at the time of purchase of such policy, and shall make such list available for public inspection during regular business hours at the principal office of the insurer within the state. Subsection (10) was added in 1991 and amended in 1992. It allows an insurer to provide an option for an insured to use a PPO.
