Appendix EFlorida Health Maintenance Organization Consumer Assistance PlanThe Florida Health Maintenance Organization Consumer Assistance Plan (FHMOCAP) is a nonprofit legal entity established by Chapter 631, Part IV, Florida Statutes, in 1988 to mitigate harm to subscribers of HMOs resulting from the failure of the HMO to perform its contractual obligations due to its insolvency. HMOs must remain members of the plan as a condition of their authority to transact business as HMOs in Florida. The benefit the plan provides is continued coverage up to a maximum of $300,000 per person or six months. Extended coverage may be provided in limited circumstances pursuant to statute. A board of directors for the association is mandated under Section 631.816, Florida Statutes, and consists of not fewer than five or more than nine persons fairly representing all member HMOs. Each board member serves a four-year term and may be reappointed. Contact information for FHMOCAP is listed below.
