In a recent Alert, Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration announced that Florida Medicaid is in the throes of updating its Provider General Handbook, and will soon require new enrollees to provide either a copy of their Health Care Clinic License or a Certificate of Exemption from the clinic licensure requirement. Once Handbook changes have been adopted, Florida Medicaid will roll-out similar requirements for existing providers to produce either Licenses or Certificates of Exemptions.
Up until now there really has not been a compelling reason for an exempt provider to obtain a Certificate of Exemption. We urge our clients to file for their Certificates of Exemption in an effort to avoid what is likely to be an onslaught at AHCA’s licensing bureau.”
