About Florida Medicaid Expansion
The Florida Health Justice Project and Disability Rights Florida filed a class action lawsuit against the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), which had been denying coverage for medically necessary incontinence supplies for adults aged 21 and older. The lawsuit was successful, resulting in a settlement.
As a result, Florida Medicaid now provides coverage for medically necessary incontinence supplies for adults over the age of 21, regardless of whether they are on a Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver. If you require incontinence supplies, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider.
