Since that is a "first 72 hour requirement" and SPIN's market is the 4-6 month after accident market, what am I missing?
Either I'm reading the article wrong or wrong about SPIN's customers -- or I'm right and actually this legislation would actually help SPIN by cutting down on insurance fraud and therefore accelerating the payments to SPIN since this would help nip fraud concerns in the butt in the first place allowing the settlements and trials from accidents to take place faster.
Don't see the problem. Many go to the e-room or are taken there after an accident anyway. Looks like it might be helpful in thinning out the crowd. The e-room is not likely to set up a follow-up visit, they will kick it back to the family doc, or specialist depending on the injury.
According to the article Miami-Dade and Tampa, not Orlando...just sayin'.
Passing the subcommittee does not make it law. The article indicates opposition and some good reasons to not pass it.
Gov. Rick Scott supports the bill but made a good point when he said,
The above is important because later in the article it becomes clear that one of the problems is auto injury clinics that have sprung up.
The more I look into this article, the clearer it becomes that this bill has nothing to do with SPIN's business model. SPIN's model is not about the quick whiplash cases. SPIN becomes involved when a accident victim's injuries require spinal injections and/or surgery. Hope this helps.
