AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION
MedicaidRelease of Long-term Care Managed Care Data Book and Request for Non-binding Letter of Intent
In preparation for the release of the procurement that will secure contracts with health plans to participate in the Long-term Care (LTC) Managed Care component of the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) program, the Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) released the LTC data book on March 16, 2012. The data book provides relevant background information that prospective plans will find useful in the development of their Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) response. Section 409.966, Florida Statutes, requires the data book to be released at least 90 days ahead of the ITN posting.
To assist with planning, the Agency has requested a non-binding letter of intent from interested parties. Parties intending to submit a bid are asked to send a letter to the Agency by April 18, 2012. The letter should identify the company name and the region(s) for which the party intends to submit a response. Such a letter is completely voluntary and the decision not to submit a letter will have no effect on this or any other procurement. Letters should be sent via e-mail: FLMedicaidManagedCare@ahca.myflorida.com. Plans interested in the data book and letter of intent request can obtain more information from the SMMC website: http://ahca.myflorida. com/Medicaid/statewide_mc/index.shtml.
