The purpose of the amendment to Rule 59G-4.070 is to incorporate by reference the Florida Medicaid Durable Medical Equipment and Supply Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook, March 2013. A revision to the handbook is needed to update the prior authorization requirements for durable medical equipment. This revision will clarify policy regarding 1) how to submit prior authorization requests and 2) the circumstances and qualifications under which Florida Medicaid will allow reimbursement for covered services. Other policies have been added and updated since the last promulgated handbook revision. The revised Florida Medicaid Durable Medical Equipment and Medical Supply Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook also provide guidelines for reimbursement of services performed by durable medical equipment providers.
