In this video, Dr. Huffman explains what an Emergency Medical Condition, or EMC means under Florida PIP law and how an EMC determination can affect the amount of medical benefits that may be available after an auto accident. Under Florida PIP law, an emergency medical condition (EMC) affects the amount of medical benefits that may be available. An EMC determination must be made by a provider authorized by statute and must be supported by the patient’s medical condition and findings. Learn more about PIP funds and EMC requirements.
