Payment limits for Indian River County inmates

The law sets payment rules for care of people held in Indian River County detention centers, effective upon becoming law. Medical providers without county contracts for inmate care can receive no more than 110% of Medicare’s allowed rate. Emergency transport providers without county contracts for inmate transport face the same 110% cap, including land, water, and air transport. The medical care cap is 125% for providers that reported a previous-year operating loss to Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration through hospital-audited financial data. Hospitals without county contracts that Florida’s Department of Health designates as trauma centers must receive 175% for care of inmates designated as trauma alert victims. The law does not apply to medical service charges at hospitals operated by Indian River County.
