AVENTURA WELLNESS & REHAB CENTER, INC., AS ASSIGNEE OF CARLOS SANCHEZ, Plaintiff(s), vs. ALLSTATE FIRE AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant.
21 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 1056a
Online Reference: FLWSUPP 2110SANCInsurance — Personal injury protection — Coverage — Medical expenses — Divergent judicial opinions from county and circuit courts as to whether policy provision at issue clearly elects to limit reimbursement to permissive statutory fee schedule render policy provision ambiguous per se — Florida Supreme Court’s opinion in Virtual Imaging does not compel finding that policy provision at issue unambiguously elects use of statutory fee schedule — Sufficiency of policy language was never considered in Virtual Imaging opinion, and policy provision at issue here is much broader and open to wider construction than policy language in Virtual Imaging — Policy provision that makes vague references to “any and all limitations…including, but not limited to, all fee schedules” does not unambiguously elect to limit reimbursement to permissive statutory fee schedule
