The purpose of this rule is to incorporate by reference the Florida Title XIX Inpatient Hospital Reimbursement Plan (the Plan), effective July 1, 2012. The amendment to Rule 59G-6.020 will update the Plan to reflect changes authorized in House Bill 5001, 2012-13 General Appropriations Act, Specific Appropriation 193, which provides for hospital buy backs, exemptions from ceilings, and a reimbursement rate reduction. Additionally, no changes to providers’ rates will be allowed after October 31 of each year, language regarding Florida Statues 409.9112, and 409.9117 has been removed as these statutes have been repealed, and references to the Bureau of Medicaid Program Analysis have been changed to the Bureau of Medicaid Program Finance.
