Florida S0648 amends Medicaid reimbursement rules for private duty nursing services in pediatric continuing care integrated communities.

Florida S0648 amends the Medicaid program to ensure reimbursement for private duty nursing services provided in pediatric continuing care integrated communities. It defines "pediatric continuing care integrated community" and "prevailing hourly rate." Managed care plans must reimburse home health agencies for these services at 100% of the prevailing hourly rate. Reimbursement cannot be reduced based on the number of affiliated businesses providing coordinated care. Managed care plans and affiliated businesses must negotiate rates annually.
