Summary


Rule 59A-8.007 outlines requirements governing home health agency geographic service areas (counties) such as review of survey history and administrative actions (i.e. fines, suspensions, etc.) before the provider is permitted to service additional counties. The Agency proposes to revise rule 59A-8.007 pursuant to SB 622 (2018), which amended s. 400.471, F.S., to require Home Health Agency applicants for both change of ownership and addition of skilled services to designate a geographic service area on their application.
