In Florida, If I am disabled and a Medicare recipient , can a physician legally charge me more than Medicare will allow?

No.  Florida Statute §456.056, Treatment of Medicare Beneficiaries, provides in pertinent part of the following:

(5) Any attempt by a primary physician or a consulting physician to collect from a Medicare Beneficiary any amount of charges for medical services in excess of those authorized under this Section, other than the unmet deductible and the 20 percent of charges that Medicare does not pay, shall be deemed null, void, and of no merit.
