Effective for 2009 and thereafter, the $200 annual statement filing fee should be paid to the Florida Department of Financial Services, Revenue Processing Section.
Prepaid Limited Health Service Organizations should report zero (0.00) for the quarterly statement filing fee (line 5) on Form DR-907, Florida Insurance Premium Installment Payment. Prepaid Limited Health Service Organizations will also report zero (0.00) on Schedule XV (Filing Fee Schedule) when filing the annual Florida Insurance Premium Taxes and Fees Return, Form DR-908, with the Department of Revenue.
For years prior to 2009, if a Prepaid Limited Health Service Organization can justify that it paid its $200 annual statement filing fee twice — once to the Florida Department of Financial Services and once to the Department of Revenue, the insurer may file an amended Insurance Premium Taxes and Fees Return(s) (Form DR-908) with the Department of Revenue to claim a refund of the overpayment.
