Cardiac Service Providers

Summary

The bill rewrites Florida law to define two levels of cardiac service programs—Level I (no on‑site heart surgery) and Level II (with on‑site surgery)—and sets minimum procedure volumes, staff‑experience standards, and quality‑reporting requirements for each. It also requires hospitals to have transfer agreements with higher‑level centers and to follow national cardiology guidelines. The measure failed in committee and did not become law.
