PER CURIAM.
Appellant, Palms West Hospital Limited Partnership d/b/a Palms West Hospital appeals the final order of the Division of Administrative Hearings finding that the hospital failed to provide sufficient notice pursuant to section 766.316, Florida Statutes (2012), governing the Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Plan (NICA). The effect of the order is to permit either acceptance of NICA benefits for a brain-damaged infant or pursuit of a medical malpractice suit against the hospital. See Florida Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Ass'n v. Dep't of Admin. Hearings, 29 So.3d 992, 999 (Fla. 2010). We affirm the order.
On appeal, the hospital does not challenge the administrative law judge's finding that the hospital failed to provide the mother with sufficient notice under NICA. §§ 766.301 to 766.316, Fla. Stat. (2012). Rather, the hospital's argument on appeal centers on language in the order regarding the election of remedies. It contends that the administrative law judge had no jurisdiction to allow the parents to make an election of remedies, reject the child's NICA benefits, and close the case without having a circuit court-appointed guardian ad litem. The specific language in the order provides:
We affirm, as we do not construe the foregoing language to be anything more than a statement that if an election of remedies is made rejecting the NICA benefits, the file would be closed. Whether there has been an appropriate waiver of benefits and whether a guardian must be appointed are matters to be litigated before the circuit court should a medical malpractice suit be pursued.
Affirmed.
