Rule 59G-4.130, Florida Administrative Code (“Rule”), which applies to all providers rendering Florida Medicaid home health visit services to recipients, requires that all providers of home health visit services enrolled in the Florida Medicaid program be in compliance with the provisions of the Florida Medicaid Home Health Visit Services Coverage Policy, November 2016 (“Handbook”).

Petitioner seeks a variance from or waiver of the Handbook provision, Page 2, Eligible Provider, which requires home health service providers meet the qualifications specified in the Handbook to be reimbursed for Florida Medicaid home health visit services. Notice of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Registrar on September 24, 2019. On December 20, 2019, a Final Order Denying the Petition for Variance or Waiver of Rule 59G-4.130 was entered as the Petitioner failed to provide sufficient facts to support the granting of a Variance or Waiver of Rule 59G-4.130, Florida Administrative Code.
