FL H1519

Authorizes the Agency for Health Care Administration to reimburse adult day care services on a fee-for-service basis under Medicaid rather than through negotiated or established rates.

Requires adult day care center operators to complete at least 8 hours of continuing education annually, including 1 hour each in topics such as AHCA compliance, Alzheimer's disease, emergency management, anti-fraud laws, medical transportation, facility operations, staff compliance, and HIPAA requirements.

Allows continuing education courses to be offered in person or online, with online courses requiring a minimum exam score of 80 percent; course providers must submit completion rosters to the department within 30 days.

Makes continuing education compliance a condition precedent for adult day care center licensure, though the department may grant extensions up to 1 year for good cause or waivers for military active duty.

Effective July 1, 2023.
