GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: An additional workshop is scheduled in Tallahassee, FL for the purpose of facilitating public discussion and comment on the Agency’s intent to readopt and enforce the rule language that remains currently in effect related to emergency room services for undocumented aliens, as currently codified in the Florida Medicaid Hospital Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook, December 2011, as set forth in subsection 59G-4.160(2), Outpatient Hospital Services, stating as follows under the “Medicaid for Aliens” section: “Eligibility can be authorized only for the duration of the emergency. Medicaid will not pay for continuous or episodic services after the emergency has been alleviated.” This workshop is provided to underscore that the language quoted above remains in effect without alteration from the version previously adopted and shall continue to be enforced accordingly.
