Herbert PARDELL, D.O., Appellant, v. HUMANA MEDICAL PLAN, INC., Appellee.
    No. 90-2829.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    May 21, 1991.
    
      Mershon, Sawyer, Johnston, Dunwody & Cole and Philip A. Allen, III, Miami, for appellant.
    Conrad, Scherer & James and Susan L. Dolin, Ft. Lauderdale, for appellee.
    Before HUBBART, BASKIN and COPE, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Assuming that the point is not foreclosed by the law of the case doctrine, we conclude that a health maintenance organization which conducts peer review of physicians under section 766.101, Florida Statutes (1989), is a “person” entitled to attorney’s fees and costs as a prevailing defendant under paragraph 766.101(6)(a). See § 1.01(3), Fla.Stat. (1989).

Affirmed.
