Fla. Stat. § 461.009: Itemized patient billing.

Whenever a podiatric physician licensed under this chapter renders professional services to a patient, the podiatric physician is required, upon request, to submit to the patient, to the patient’s insurer, or to the administrative agency for any federal or state health program under which the patient is entitled to benefits, an itemized statement of the specific services rendered and the charge for each, no later than the podiatric physician’s next regular billing cycle which follows the fifth day after rendering of professional services. A podiatric physician may not condition the furnishing of an itemized statement upon prior payment of the bill.
