EDUCATION: Performing In-Office Surgeries: What Physicians Need to Know About Florida Registration Requirements

Developments of new drugs and medical technology have enabled physicians to perform treatments and procedures in the comfort of medical offices that were once only able to be performed in hospital settings. To confirm whether obtaining an Office Surgery License is required for your office to perform these surgeries you must carefully examine the rules on office surgeries because they have changed recently. The registering Surgeon should submit an Office Surgery Registration form with an original signature. The office must also provide proof of completion of necessary training (i.e. certificates/diplomas) by all physicians. If any physicians that will also be performing Level 2 or Level 3 surgeries are hired to the office after the approval, the Department must be notified immediately to update records. For each level, there are specific outlines for medication, equipment, and registration requirements which can be found by visiting: http://www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/medical/osr_home.html.
