	The Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) and the Florida Medicaid Medical Care Advisory Committee (MCAC) announces a hearing to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	July 29, 2025, 1:00 – 2:00 pm

PLACE:	Zora Neal Hurston State Building, 400 W Robinson St, North Tower, Room N901, Orlando, FL 32801

Subject:	The Agency is seeking federal authority to amend its Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) Section 1115 Demonstration program (project numbers 11-W-00206/4 and 21-W-00069/4) to implement an income disregard and to expand the home health aide provider workforce by adding an additional eligible provider type. The intent of the amendment is to mitigate gaps in the health service needs of Medicaid-eligible, medically fragile children caused by general healthcare workforce challenges. The new proposed service component of the MMA demonstration will be called, the “Family Home Health Aide (FHHA) Services Program” also known as the “Home Health Aide for Medically Fragile Children Program.” The Agency provides this notice in accordance with federal requirements to inform the public that we are providing a 30-day public comment period on the proposed new demonstration starting on July 18, 2025. The draft application proposal and more detailed information for submitting public comments will be available on that date at: https://ahca.myflorida.com/medicaid/medicaid-policy-quality-and-operations/medicaid-policy-and-quality/medicaid-policy/federal-authorities/federal-waivers/federal-authorities-mma-cms-approval-and-reports-2021-2030.
