Florida pays Medicaid by formula, limits insurer claims and has no statewide hospital lien
Medicaid recovers under Fla. Stat. 409.910, health insurers and other collateral sources are governed by 768.76, and a PIP insurer has no lien under 627.736(3). Hospital liens come from county ordinances, as the Supreme Court explained in Shands v. Mercury. Medicare recovers under the federal Medicare Secondary Payer statute.
