From the Arc of Florida Team:
This Friday at 3 PM, Carol Gormley, Vice President of Government Affairs at Independent Living Systems, will be speaking about Medicaid Managed Care and the iBudget Waiver.
She’ll be talking directly to families to help explain what’s going on with the new managed care pilot in Florida. The event is hosted by We The People, For the People… , a group of family advocates and one of our community partners.
You’re welcome to listen in — and please share this with any families who want to learn more. Families are encouraged to participate (they may want to join the group -- its free!).
Here’s the Zoom link to join the call:

Carol will answer questions that families have already sent in, like:
1. How will Florida Community Care provide services at home and in the community instead of in institutions?
2. What does service use actually look like in this model?
3. Are there any numbers on how much money states get back from managed care plans?
4. How will this change affect families using CDC+, and what should they expect?
There will also be time for live questions — families can drop their questions in the chat during the call.
Please feel free to share this invitation with anyone who might be interested!

AHCA has asked FABA to share the following message:

The Agency continues to process Medicaid health plan disenrollments for voluntary participants who choose to opt out of participation in the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) program. Voluntary participants who contact the Agency or the Enrollment Broker anytime during the month of February 2025 and ask to opt out of SMMC, will be retroactively disenrolled from the Medicaid health plan effective 2/1/2025.

• If you provided services and submitted a Fee-for-service (FFS) claim for a date of service (DOS) in February 2025 for a voluntary participant, and
• The FFS claim denied due to the voluntary participant’s active enrollment in a Medicaid health plan, and
• After the DOS, the voluntary participant chose to opt out of SMMC in February 2025,
• You can rebill the FFS claim for the February 2025 date of service.

If you have additional questions, please contact the Medicaid Helpline at 1-877-254-1055 (TDD 1-866-467-4970). Staff are available to assist Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm EST. You may also submit a request for assistance electronically via the Florida Medicaid Complaint Form: https://www.flmedicaidmanagedcare.com/complaint #%2F
