Florida Appeals Court Invalidates DFS Rules on Physician Dispensing in Workers' Compensation

Florida's First District Court of Appeal invalidated two rules from the Department of Financial Services (DFS) that protected physician dispensing in workers' compensation cases. In Publix Super Markets v. Dep't of Fin. Servs., the court held the rules exceeded DFS's authority because the statutory "absolute choice" provision applies only to pharmacies and pharmacists, not dispensing practitioners. Workers' compensation insurers may now require injured workers to use pharmacies instead of receiving medications directly from treating providers.
