MediPass Overview
The Medicaid Provider Access System (MediPass) is a primary care case management program for Medicaid beneficiaries developed and administered by Florida Medicaid. MediPass was established in 1991 to assure adequate access to coordinated primary care while decreasing the inappropriate utilization of medical services.
In MediPass, each participating Medicaid beneficiaries selects or is assigned a health care provider who furnishes primary care services, 24-hour access to care and referral and authorization for specialty services and hospital care. The primary care provider is expected to monitor appropriateness of health care provided to their patients.
MediPass providers receive a $2.00 monthly case management fee for each of their enrolled patients, as well as the customary reimbursement according to the Medicaid Provider Handbook for all services rendered. The monthly fee is subject to change based upon the appropriation of legislative funds and is adjusted accordingly.
The MediPass Program has contracted with disease management organizations to provide disease management services to MediPass-enrolled beneificaires living with certain diseases.
