Gunter challenges over-60 Medicare rule on Florida drivers
State Insurance Commissioner Bill Gunter urged DHHS to stop final publication of a rule he says would deny Medicare benefits to elderly drivers with no fault insurance in Florida. The rule could raise PIP premiums by as much as 96 percent for those choosing Medicare secondary coverage. He asked for amendments and to hold hearings to hear elderly, insurers, and organizations.
