The proposed bill, titled "Codys Law: Florida No Vaccine-Injured Patient Left Behind," aims to enhance the claims process for individuals experiencing adverse reactions to vaccines, immunizing agents, and emergency countermeasure drugs under the Medicare, Medicaid, and medically needy programs. It establishes a new section, 409.9043, in the Florida Statutes, which mandates the Agency for Health Care Administration to expedite the review and payment of claims for severe injuries diagnosed by physicians that are linked to these medical interventions. The bill also requires the agency to publish relevant information on its website, including lists of medical conditions and potential adverse reactions associated with these vaccines and drugs.

Additionally, the agency is tasked with informing website visitors about the new provisions to assist healthcare providers in addressing urgent medical needs stemming from vaccine-related injuries. The bill stipulates that the agency must seek federal approval if necessary and adopt rules for effective implementation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
