What is PIP?

PIP stands for Personal Injury Protection. It is a type of motor vehicle insurance that provides for medical expenses and lost wages, or can provide a death benefit in fatal incidents.  All Florida drivers are required to carry PIP coverage for themselves. 

​

As of January 1st, 2013, massage and acupuncture are no longer covered by PIP.*
