The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation is reportedly moving ahead with developing guidelines designed to tighten personal injury 
protection (PIP) rules in the state, as required by legislation passed in the last session.

"The industry, the department and medical representatives are working to formulate a list of excluded tests that everyone can agree on," said James Taylor, southeastern regional manager for the National Association of Independent Insurers (NAII).

The State Board of Medicine held a workshop this week to discuss excluded diagnostic procedures, with insurance industry and medical associations in attendance. Insurers reportedly agreed that a number of tests should no longer be covered by PIP, including procedures on a list created by New Jersey in its auto reform efforts.
