Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care Program

Providing Long-Term Care (LTC) services to Florida's most vulnerable citizens is a multi-agency effort. The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) administers the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) Long-Term Care program, sets coverage policy, and gets those eligible for services enrolled in a LTC plan. The Department of Children and Families (DCF) is responsible for determining financial eligibility for services. The Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) is responsible for determining medical eligibility and level of care needed.
