Subject:	During the 2011 legislative session, the Florida Legislature passed House Bills 7107 and 7109, and Governor Scott signed the bill into law June 2, 2011. The Legislature continued the Medically Needy program and directed the Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) to seek federal waiver authority to enroll Medically Needy recipients into their choice of managed care plans, and to change the program to provide additional months of coverage, to implement a premium that would not exceed the share of cost, and to provide care coordination and utilization management to achieve more cost-effective services. The Agency will hold two public meetings on separate dates and in different areas of the state to solicit verbal and written comments from all interested stakeholders. The dates and times are noted above. The Agency’s website, AHCA.MyFlorida.com, will provide email and postal addresses for submission of comments, and a link to the Federal CMS website. All interested stakeholders will be able to provide and review comments by the public for a minimum of 30 days prior to the submission of the waiver application to Federal CMS.
