NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT Agency Clerk. Please refer all comments to: Agency Clerk. has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by ARC of Alachua County, Inc. on February 06, 2009. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
The Petitioner seeks an interpretation by the Agency of “Payment-in-Full” as defined in Section 409.907(3)(j), Florida Statutes (2008). The Agency has jurisdiction to interpret Section 409.907(3)(j), Florida Statutes (2008) and therefore declares that the statute clearly establishes that “Payment-in-Full” as the language is used, applies only to Medicaid covered good and services. If a good or service is not a covered benefit to a recipient of the Medicaid program, the “Payment-in-Full” provision does not apply. Therefore it is ordered that the requested Petition for Declaratory Statement as to the laws of Florida is Accepted and Answered in part and Denied in part.
A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Richard Shoop, Agency Clerk, Agency for Health Care Administration, 2727 Mahan Drive, Bldg. #3, MSC #3, Tallahassee, Florida 32308-5403, (850)922-5873.
