Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show a charge from “SQ *SOUTHWEST FLORIDA MEC”?

The “SQ *” prefix indicates that Square processed the payment, and “SOUTHWEST FLORIDA MEC” is a truncated descriptor for Southwest Florida Medical Examiners, P.A. This usually reflects a one‑time payment for medical examiner services or records, such as autopsy reports, toxicology results, or certified death-related documents.

What types of services from Southwest Florida Medical Examiners, P.A. commonly result in card charges?

Common billable items include copies of autopsy and toxicology reports, certified documentation for legal or insurance purposes, fees associated with death investigations, and other administrative or records‑related services requested by families, attorneys, or insurers.

I don’t remember authorizing a payment to Southwest Florida Medical Examiners, P.A. How can I verify it?

Check any recent correspondence from the county medical examiner’s office, funeral home, attorney, or insurer to see if they requested or facilitated documents on your behalf. Then compare the amount and date of your receipt or invoice with the card charge. If you still cannot match it, contact the medical examiner’s office directly using the phone or address listed on your paperwork to confirm whether the payment is in their records.

Can I get an itemized receipt for a charge from Southwest Florida Medical Examiners, P.A.?

Yes. Contact the Southwest Florida Medical Examiners office and request an itemized receipt for the transaction. Provide the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of the card used so they can locate the payment in their Square or billing system and send you documentation.

How do I request a refund or billing correction from Southwest Florida Medical Examiners, P.A.?

Refunds or billing corrections must be handled directly by the medical examiner’s office. Reach out to their administrative or billing staff using the contact details on your invoice, explain the issue, and provide supporting information such as a copy of your statement and any receipts. If they authorize a refund, it will typically be processed back to the original card, and you should see it on your account within several business days.

Why does the descriptor say “MEC” instead of the full name of Southwest Florida Medical Examiners, P.A.?

Card processors and point‑of‑sale systems, like Square, often shorten merchant names due to character limits, so “Southwest Florida Medical Examiners” may appear as “SOUTHWEST FLORIDA MEC” on your statement. This abbreviation still refers to the same medical examiner organization listed in Florida corporate records.

What should I do if I suspect the Southwest Florida Medical Examiners, P.A. charge is fraudulent?

First, try to confirm with the medical examiner’s office whether they have a payment on file matching your transaction. If they cannot locate it or confirm it is not tied to you, immediately contact your card issuer to report suspected fraud, request a card replacement, and dispute the charge. Monitor your account for any additional unfamiliar activity.

Can funeral homes or law firms trigger charges from Southwest Florida Medical Examiners, P.A. on my card?

Yes. In some situations, a funeral home, law firm, or other representative may process your card to pay the medical examiner’s fees on your behalf, particularly when obtaining reports or authorizations. If you see such a charge, check with the funeral home or firm you’re working with to confirm whether they used your card for these services.
