Statement by FHCA Following Passage of Senator Kelli Stargel's SB 682

Posted on April 13, 2017

Statement from Emmett Reed, Executive Director of the Florida Health Care Association, following passage of Senator Kelli Stargel’s SB 682 by the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services:

“We want to thank Senator Flores and members of the committee for this important vote to remove long-stay nursing center residents from Florida’s managed care program. Our current system of managed care doesn’t work effectively  for those residents who cannot take care of themselves or be safely cared for in the community because their medical needs are simply too complex. By making this common-sense change, Florida stands to save $68.2 million in fees the state is charged each year for unnecessary management services. Senator Stargel’s work on this important issue will also ensure nursing centers have access to managed care networks without fear of cancellation, so that residents and their families won’t have to make the difficult choice between their home and a benefits package that fits their needs.”
