The proposed bill, titled "Codys Law: Florida No Vaccine-Injured Patient Left Behind," aims to enhance the process for claims related to 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 where a physician has diagnosed a severe injury caused by the administration of these medical products. 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 products.

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 the implementation of these measures. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
