§ 627.644, Fla. Stat. · Part VI. HEALTH INSURANCE POLICIES
Discrimination against handicapped prohibited.
Text — 2026 Florida Statutes
No health insurer shall refuse to provide, or shall charge unfairly discriminatory rates for, health insurance coverage for a person solely because the person is mentally or physically handicapped. Nothing in this section should be construed as requiring an insurer to provide insurance coverage against a handicap which the applicant or policyholder has already sustained.
