Support organization
The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration administers Florida Medicaid and Statewide Medicaid Managed Care rather than serving only as a transportation provider. Eligible children can use diagnosis-neutral non-emergency transportation, broad under-21 EPSDT coverage, plan-based cancer chronic-disease management, and the statewide Children’s Medical Services specialty plan when its clinical and Medicaid gates are met. Managed-care and fee-for-service transportation use different vendors and troubleshooting routes, and the CMS Plan operator changes from Sunshine to Molina on October 1, 2026. Choice Counseling helps families select or change a plan, while complaints, appeals, continuity-of-care, expanded-benefit, and multilingual materials explain how to protect access. Medicaid financial eligibility is handled by other agencies, and plan-specific benefits and transport rules must be confirmed with the member’s current plan.
Administers Medicaid and health-care regulation in pursuit of better health care for all Floridians.
