Emmett Reed, executive director of the Florida Health Care Association, issued the following statement after the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a plan to establish a prospective payment system (PPS) for nursing center reimbursement:
“The Florida Health Care Association strongly supports the Senate’s plan, which puts a top priority on providing high-quality care for the residents under our care. The Senate plan recognizes the value of establishing a funding mechanism the creates incentives for quality, and we applaud senators’ commitment to addressing reimbursement in a way that benefits our state’s most fragile citizens. We look forward to continuing to work with the Legislature to bring about positive change to health care through implementation of this PPS plan.”
