Medical Malpractice Liability Coverage

Summary

The legislation amends Florida statutes to increase the minimum professional liability coverage that doctors must maintain when performing surgery in ambulatory surgical centers or holding hospital staff privileges. It lifts the per‑claim limit to $1 million and the annual aggregate to $3 million, and raises the corresponding amounts for required irrevocable letters of credit. The measure aimed to strengthen financial protection for patients but failed to pass, dying in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
