NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on January 31, 2014, the Agency for Health Care Administration, received a petition for Waiver or Variance (“Petition”) from Am-Med Diabetic Supplies, Inc. d/b/a Beyond Medical USA (“Petitioner”). Petitioner seeks a variance from or wavier of limited provisions of Rule 59G-4.070, Florida Administrative Code, entitled Durable Medical Equipment and Medical Supplies.

The rule specifies that all durable medical equipment and medical supply providers enrolled in the Medicaid program must be in compliance with the handbook. Petitioner seeks a permanent variance from or waiver of the handbook provision which precludes Medicaid DME and medical supply providers from having the same street address as another Medicaid DME and medical supply provider.
