The Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) issued final orders to five providers for failure to meet licensure requirements during the month of June. There was one final order to revoke an existing license, three final orders to deny license renewals, and one final order for a license surrender. Some of these providers were enrolled in the Medicaid program, and the Agency has terminated, or is in the process of terminating, their participation in the program.
The Agency also issued an Emergency Suspension Order to Rosita Wing d/b/a Tyrone Manor, an assisted living facility in Pinellas County.
In addition, eight providers were issued final orders terminating them from participation in the Medicaid program and have been reported to the federal government for placement on the federal exclusion list, prohibiting them from participating in Medicaid and Medicare nationwide.The Agency also suspended five providers from participation in the Medicaid program, prohibiting their payment for claims to the Medicaid program for furnishing, supervising a person who is furnishing, or causing a person to furnish goods or services.
Agency Medicaid terminations and suspensions typically result from failure to return funds due to the Agency within required timeframes; a charge, indictment, or guilty plea to a health care related crime; suspension, termination, or exclusion from Medicare or Medicaid in another state; or a license denial, revocation, suspension or termination by the licensing agency.
