Recap of the 2016 Legislative Session: Balance billing legislation passed
After many years of negotiation, HB 221 was passed with a unanimous vote in the Senate and a vote of 118-0 in the House. HB 221, which takes effect July 1, 2016, relates to out-of-network health insurance coverage and very well may materially alter how hospital based pathology groups conduct business.

'Balance billing' proposal clears house panel
Tampa Bay Business Journal
In an issue watched closely by doctors, hospitals and insurers, a House panel Tuesday, Jan. 19, approved a proposal aimed at protecting patients from surprise charges when they need emergency care. The bill (HB 221), approved by the House Insurance & Banking Subcommittee, deals with an issue known as "balance billing." That can occur, for example, when patients need emergency care and are treated by doctors who are not part of the networks of the patients' insurers.
