collectors.

can not bill a subscriber if the HMO fails to pay a claim for a covered service.
Florida Law prohibits providers from billing members
for covered services except for applicable co-payments, co-insurance or
deductibles. The medical provider or facility may bill the subscriber for
services received that are not covered by the HMO contract.
