On July 29, 2021, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) announced that the longstanding moratorium on home health agencies seeking Medicaid enrollment. With the implementation of the Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) mandate in effect as a fraud prevention measure, AHCA is prepared to lift the moratorium statewide and begin accepting applications on September 1, 2021.

The Medicaid health care alert states that AHCA "plans to implement enhanced screening processes for those seeking enrollment" and that a future alert outlining additional provider qualification requirements for enrollment will be provided in the coming weeks.

To avoid delay in Medicaid enrollment processing, AHCA asks that providers do not submit any applications prior to September 1.
