Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty has issued a Final Order to a dozen entities, including companies and their officers, for the unauthorized sale of health insurance products in Florida.
The entities and individuals notified are:Beema-Pakistan Company, LTD., Serve America Assurance, LTD., William Worthy II, Real Benefits Association, David L. Clark, Affinity Group Benefits Association, Inc., American Trade Association, Inc., Smart Data Solutions, L.L.C., SDS Management Group, Bart Posey, Richard Bachman, and Obed Kirkpatrick.
McCarty's office initiated an investigation after receiving numerous complaints about "fax blasts" or unsolicited faxes advertising inexpensive health insurance coverage. According to some Florida consumers, the policies issued were not for major medical insurance coverage as represented. Instead, the policies were for unauthorized limited benefit plans.
All but two of the individuals and entities failed to respond to the previous order and waived their rights to any further proceeding. Real Benefits Association and David L. Clark responded to the initial order but did not dispute the findings.
American Trade Association, Inc., Smart Data Solutions, L.L.C., and Service America Assurance, LTD., are in the process of liquidation proceedings in the State of Tennessee.
