The bill establishes a new section, 456.0625, in the Florida Statutes, which mandates that licensed health care practitioners must refund any overpayments made by patients within 30 days of determining that an overpayment occurred. This requirement applies to practitioners across various medical fields, including those licensed under chapters 458 through 491. However, the bill specifies that it does not apply to overpayments governed by sections 627.6131 or 641.3155.

Additionally, the bill grants the relevant regulatory board, or the Department of Health in the absence of a board, the authority to adopt rules necessary for the implementation of this section. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, ensuring that patients receive timely refunds for any overpayments made to their health care providers.
