Purpose


The Department is aligning policy with the Medicaid State Plan by amending the uncovered medical expense deduction policy and adding an additional personal needs allowance. The Department is also adding the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, the Cystic Fibrosis and IBudget Florida waivers and their deduction policies. These policies are used to determine an individual’s cost of care paid to nursing facilities and waiver providers in the post eligibility determination process. Included in this proposed rule amendment are wording changes to improve the overall content of the rule and technical changes of a non-substantive nature.
