Establishing an EMC is a pivotal step in unlocking the full $10,000 in PIP medical benefits. Without this formal designation, PIP coverage is limited to $2,500. To qualify for the full benefit, Florida law mandates that only the following licensed providers can make a legal EMC determination:
- Medical Doctors (M.D.)
- Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.)
- Physician Assistants (P.A.)
- Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (N.P.)
Important Note: According to Florida statute, chiropractors are not authorized to diagnose or certify whether an Emergency Medical Condition exists.
To ensure patients receive the full extent of their entitled benefits, an EMC evaluation should be completed within the first few chiropractic visits following an auto accident or injury.
At CloudMD , we are proud to offer a team of licensed, independent medical providers, including MDs, DOs, Physician Assistants (PAs), and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs). To maintain the highest standards of clinical integrity, objectivity, and quality, our system rotates providers at random for patient evaluations. This ensures well-rounded medical professionals to every Emergency Medical Condition (EMC) determination.
Under Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) law, an EMC is defined as a medical condition that presents with acute symptoms of sufficient severity—requiring timely medical attention. Accurate EMC certification is critical in determining whether a patient qualifies for the full PIP medical benefits.
No matter your practice setting—urban, suburban, or rural—CloudMD removes the barriers and delays often associated with traditional referrals. We bring expert-level evaluations directly to your patients via secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual visits, making the EMC process efficient, accessible, and hassle-free.
We are here to support chiropractors, personal injury clinics, and legal teams in delivering timely, compliant EMC assessments with confidence.
