How medical liens and LOPs work in Florida
Florida has no statewide lien statute for private providers; treatment on a letter of protection is the usual arrangement. Since 2023, Florida Statute 768.0427 defines a letter of protection as any arrangement by which a health care provider renders treatment in exchange for a promise of payment from a judgment or settlement, whatever it is called. To claim those medical expenses in a personal injury case, the claimant must disclose a copy of the letter of protection and itemized, coded billings for the treatment. Chiropractors, physical therapists, pain management practices and imaging centers in Florida treat injury patients under these agreements.
