- GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Proposed Amendment to Florida’s 1115 Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) Waiver
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT: The State is seeking federal authority to amend Florida’s 1115 Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) Waiver (Project Number 11-W-002064) as a result of changes in the law passed during the 2016 Legislative session. The State was directed to seek federal approval to pay for flexible services for persons with severe mental illness or substance use disorders, including, but not limited to, temporary housing assistance. Payments may be made as enhanced capitation rates or incentive payments to managed care plans that meet the requirements of section 409.968(4), Florida Statutes.
The State is submitting this amendment to implement a pilot program for housing assistance in region 5 and 7 of the State. The Pilot program would provide additional behavioral health services and supportive housing assistance services for persons aged 21 an older with serious mental illness (SMI), substance use disorder (SUD) or SMI with co-occurring SUD, who are homeless or at risk of homelessness due to their disability.
