NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Department of Health has received the petition for declaratory statement from Ramirez and Weisman, Florida Medical Clinic (FMC) P.A. The petition seeks the agency's opinion as to the applicability of Section 458.3265, Florida Statutes, as it applies to the petitioner.
The petition provides background information about FMC, a multi-specialty group practice registered in three locations as pain-management clinics. It argues for a declaration of exemption from registration as pain-management clinics because of the surgical services codes used in 80 percent of the billings and because certain physicians in the clinics hold board certifications.
A copy of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Joy Tootle, Executive Director, Department of Health, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C03, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3253.
