“Under Florida Law, Physicians are generally required to carry medical malpractice insurance or otherwise demonstrate financial responsibility to cover potential laims for medical malpractice. YOUR DOCTOR HAS DECIDED NOT TO CARRY MEDICAL MALPRACTICE INSURANCE. This is permitted under Florida law subject to certain conditions. Florida law imposes penalties against noninsured physicians who fail to satisfy adverse judgments arising from claims of medical malpractice. This notice is provided pursuant toFlorida law”
I have elected not to carry medical malpractice insurance, however, I agree to satisfy any adverse judgements up to the minimum amounts pursuant to s. 458.320(5)(g)1 or 459.0085(5)(g)1, F.S. I understand that I must either post notice in the form of a “sign” prominently displayed in the reception area or provide a written statement to any person to whom medical services are being provided that I have decided not to carry medical malpractice insurance. I understand that such a sign or notice must contain the wording specified in s. 458.320(5)(g) or 459.0085(5)(g), F.S.
