AMERIMED DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES, INC.,
AHCA No. 2014012157
License No. HCC3985
File No. 2509 License Type: Health Care Clinic
Respondent.
----------------'
ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT
COMES NOW, the Petitioner, State of Florida, Agency for Health Care Administration ("the Agency"), by and through its undersigned counsel, and files this Administrative Complaint against the Respondent, Amerimed Diagnostic Services, Inc. ("the Respondent"), pursuant to Section 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes (2014), and alleges:
NATURE OF THE ACTION
This is an action to impose an administrative fine of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) against Respondent and to revoke the Respondent's health care clinic license based upon Respondent's operation of two unlicensed clinics concurrent to its operation of two licensed clinics.
PARTIES
The Agency is the state agency that oversees the licensure and regulation of health care clinics in Florida pursuant to Chapters 408, Part II, and 400, Part X, Florida Statutes (2014); and Chapter 59A-33, Florida Administrative Code. "The Legislature finds that the regulation of health care clinics must be strengthened to prevent significant cost and harm to
EXHll!IT 1
consumers. The purpose of this part is to provide for the licensure, establishment, and enforcement of basic standards for health care clinics and to provide administrative oversight by the Agency for Health Care Administration." § 400.990(2), Fla. Stat. (2014).
The Respondent was issued a license by the Agency to operate a health care clinic located at 500 W. Martin Luther King Blvd., Tampa, Florida 33603, and was required to comply with the applicable state statutes and rules.
For approximately two years, in addition to and simultaneous to the operation of its licensed clinics, Respondent operated two unlicensed health care clinics: one in Miami, Florida, and one in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
COUNTI
The Agency re-alleges and incorporates paragraphs one (1) through four (4) as though fully set forth, and further alleges the following.
That pursuant to Florida law, "clinic" means "(4) ... an entity at which health care services are provided to individuals and which tenders charges for reimbursement for such services . .". Section 400.9905(4), Fla. Stat. (2014).
That pursuant to Florida law:
408.804 License required; display.-
It is unlawful to provide services that require licensure, or operate or maintain a provider that offers or provides services that require licensure, without first obtaining from the agency a license authorizing the provision of such services or the operation or maintenance of such provider.
A license must be displayed in a conspicuous place readily visible to clients who enter at the address that appears on the license and is valid only in the hands of the licensee to whom it is issued and may not be sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily. The license is valid only for the licensee, provider, and location for which the license is issued.
Section 408.804, Fla. Stat. (2014).
That pursuant to Rule 59A-33.006, Florida Administrative Code, in pertinent part:
. . . In such case, the health care clinic must file with the Agency a license application under the Act within 5 days of becoming a health care clinic and shall be subject to all provisions of the Act applicable to unlicensed health care clinics. Failure to timely file an application for licensure within 5 days of becoming a health care clinic will render the health care clinic unlicensed and subject the owners, medical or clinic directors and the health care clinic to sanctions under the Act.
A facility becomes a "clinic" as defined in Section 400.9905(4), F.S., when it does not qualify for an exemption, provides health care services to individuals and bills third party payers for those services.
That further pursuant to Florida law:
408.812 Unlicensed activity.-
A person or entity may not offer or advertise services that require licensure as defined by this part, authorizing statutes, or applicable rules to the public without obtaining a valid license from the agency. A licenseholder may not advertise or hold out to the public that he or she holds a license for other than that for which he or she actually holds the license.
The operation or maintenance of an unlicensed provider or the performance of any services that require licensure without proper licensure is a violation of this part and authorizing statutes. Unlicensed activity constitutes harm that materially affects the health, safety, and welfare of clients. The agency or any state attorney may, in addition to other remedies provided in this part, bring an action for an injunction to restrain such violation, or to enjoin the future operation or maintenance of the unlicensed provider or the performance of any services in violation of this part and authorizing statutes, until compliance with this part, authorizing statutes, and agency rules has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the agency.
It is unlawful for any person or entity to own, operate, or maintain an unlicensed provider. If after receiving notification from the agency, such person or entity fails to cease operation and
apply for a license under this part and authorizing statutes, the person or entity shall be subject to penalties as prescribed by authorizing statutes and applicable rules. Each day of continued operation is a separate offense.
Any person or entity that fails to cease operation after agency notification may be fined $1,000 for each day of noncompliance.
When a controlling interest or licensee has an interest in more than one provider and fails to license a provider rendering services that require licensure, the agency may revoke all licenses and impose actions under s. 408.814 and a fine of $1,000 per day, unless otherwise specified by authorizing statutes, against each licensee until such time as the appropriate license is obtained for the unlicensed operation.
In addition to granting injunctive relief pursuant to subsection (2), if the agency determines that a person or entity is operating or maintaining a provider without obtaining a license and determines that a condition exists that poses a threat to the health, safety, or welfare of a client of the provider, the person or entity is subject to the same actions and fines imposed against a licensee as specified in this part, authorizing statutes, and agency rules.
Any person aware of the operation of an unlicensed provider must report that provider to the agency.
Section 408.812, Florida Statutes (2014).
Further pursuant to Florida law:
400.991 License requirements; background screenmgs; prohibitions.-
(l)(a) The requirements of part II of chapter 408 apply to the provision of services that require licensure pursuant to this part and part II of chapter 408 and to entities licensed by or applying for such licensure from the agency pursuant to this part. A license issued by the agency is required in order to operate a clinic in this state. Each clinic location shall be licensed separately regardless of whether the clinic is operated under the same business name or management as another clinic.
Section 400.991(l)(a), Florida Statutes (2014).
That pursuant to Florida law:
400.995 Agency administrative penalties.-
(1) In addition to the requirements of part II of chapter 408, the agency may deny the application for a license renewal, revoke and suspend the license, and impose administrative fines of up to $5,000 per violation for violations of the requirements of this part or rules of the agency.
(4) Any licensed clinic whose owner, medical director, or clinic director concurrently operates an unlicensed clinic shall be subject to an administrative fine of $5,000 per day.
Section 400.995(1), (4), Florida Statutes (2014).
That further pursuant to Florida law, "[a]n applicant must demonstrate compliance with the requirements in this part, authorizing statutes, and applicable rules during an inspection pursuant to s. 408.811, as required by authorizing statutes." Section 408.806(7)(a), Florida Statutes (2014).
As of April 2014, and at all relevant times thereafter, Respondent held 2 active health care clinic licenses issued by the Agency. One of Respondent's clinics was licensed in 2004 and the other in April 2014.
Unlicensed Clinic in Miami, Florida
On August 26, 2014, the Agency conducted a complaint investigation of Respondent's unlicensed health care clinic being operated at 13155 SW 42nd Street, Suite 104, Miami, Florida 33175. The allegation of unlicensed activity was substantiated.
On August 26, 2014, at approximately 10:25 A.M., at the Miami location, the Agency surveyor interviewed Respondent's Administrator wherein it was determined that Respondent failed to apply for a license to operate the health care clinic. During the interview
with Respondent's Administrator, it was determined that Respondent's unlicensed health care clinic in Miami had been providing services for approximately two years.
On August 27, 2014, the Agency delivered a cease and desist letter to Respondent's unlicensed Miami health care clinic.
Unlicensed Clinic in Altamonte Springs, Florida
On July 8, 2014, the Agency received an application for licensure from Respondent for a health care clinic at 251 Maitland Ave., Suite 116, Altamonte Springs, Florida 32701.
On September 4, 2014, the Agency started an initial survey, which was continued on September 23-25 and September 29-30, in which it determined that Respondent had been engaged in unlicensed activity at this health care clinic. This determination was based on interview and record review.
On September 4, 2014, at approximately 12:15 P.M., the Agency surveyor interviewed Respondent's Chief Operations Officer and the Office Manager, who validated that the facility did not have an active health care clinic license.
On September 4, 2014, the surveyor reviewed records dated August 19, 2014, which demonstrated that a Massage Establishment inspection was conducted by the State of Florida, Department of Health Investigative Services, which reflected the name and license number of a "person employed."
On September 5, 2014, Respondent purported to cease providing services to patients at its unlicensed Altamonte Springs health care clinic.
On September 23, 2014, at approximately 11:35 A.M., the Respondent's Office Manager was interviewed, who informed the surveyor that only two massage therapists worked
at Respondent's unlicensed Altamonte Springs health care clinic.
On September 23, 2014, at approximately 11:37 A.M., the surveyor interviewed Staff A, a massage therapist, who stated he began working for Respondent in November 2012. Staff A provided a copy of "patient logs" from September 2, 2014, through September 22, 2014.
On September 23, 2014, at approximately 1:05 P.M., the surveyor interviewed Staff B, a massage therapist, who stated she began working for the establishment around "late December 2013 or early January 2014."
Respondent continued to operate its unlicensed health care clinic at the Altamonte Springs location after being served with a cease and desist letter related to its unlicensed health care clinic in Miami.
Operation of two unlicensed clinics for approximately two years subjects the Respondent to a daily fine during any period of unlicensed activity. Sections 408.812, 408.813 and 400.995, Florida Statutes (2014).
An appropriate fine for unlicensed operation of two health care clinics for approximately two years, beginning in 2012 and ending in 2014, is thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), which is an amount far below the allowable five thousand dollars ($5,000) per day. Further, due to the facts set forth above, revocation of Respondent's license to operate this health care clinic is appropriate.
WHEREFORE, the Petitioner, State of Florida, Agency for Health Care Administration, seeks to impose an administrative fine of $30,000.00 against Respondent and revoke the Respondent's license to operate this health care clinic.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 28t da f January, 2015.
