Clarification of Continuity of Care Requirements
In support of the rollout of the Managed Medical Assistance Program across the state, Florida Medicaid has issued regular "health care alerts" for providers to communicate important information and address critical issues. One of the key goals of the new program is to ensure that benefit recipients experience continuity of care. There should be no breaks in service coverage during the transition period, whether they are switching from one provider to another or to a different managed care plan entirely.
Continuity of care is a priority for MCNA. We want to help all of our network providers fully understand the requirements of this process and recognize its importance to the health and well being of our members. We would like to encourage you to review the Florida Medicaid Health Care Alert about continuity of care and familiarize yourself with the timeframes, authorization requirements, and payment expectations contained within it.
