Florida Medicaid Prepaid Therapies
Welcome to the Medicaid Prepaid Therapy Services Program webpage. Under this managed care program, Florida Medicaid recipients aged birth to 21 will receive the physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, and speech-language pathology services that are currently available. Upon implementation of the program, therapy services will be provided under a managed-care model, with children receiving services from network-enrolled providers.
The program will include all children currently enrolled in MediPass, including those receiving services from the Children's Medical Services Network, and fee-for-service Medicaid. Recipients will receive notice when they are enrolled into the program. The program is scheduled to go into effect in Fall 2008.
To assist providers and beneficiaries in understanding this new program, the Agency for Health Care Administration has been hosting or participating in meetings in different areas of the state. For information on upcoming meetings that have been scheduled, please click on the “Upcoming Meetings” link at the top of this page.
We encourage you to visit the Medicaid Prepaid Therapy Services Program website frequently for information on upcoming meetings, answers to frequently asked questions, and other relevant information.”
