In mid-September, Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty issued an Immediate Final Order to Peck & Peck, Inc., Green Cross Managed Health, and Depawix Health Resources, Inc., to immediately cease and desist transacting the unauthorized marketing and selling of health insurance.
In a prepared release, the Office of Insurance Regulation said it began investigating the activities of these companies earlier this year. The investigation alleges that the companies were marketing group and individual health insurance plans to small businesses and individuals, both directly and through licensed and unlicensed insurance agents, under the guise of selling an employment opportunity with Depawix that provides medical benefits.
The companies have 30 days from the date of the order to file an appeal with the District Court of Appeal.
