Medicaid in Florida
29
•
Florida’s Medicaid program includes:
̶ HMOs and provider service networks (PSNs)
̶ MediPass, a primary-care case management program
̶ Florida KidCare, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, including MediKids for
those under age 5, Florida Healthy Kids for those ages 5 to 18, and the Children’s
Medical Services Network for those 18 and younger with special health care needs
•
Florida’s Medicaid enrollment has swelled under continuing joblessness and is expected to
surpass 3 million in the 2011-2012 fiscal year. This is resulting in thousands of beneficiaries
being added to the state’s fee-for-service (FFS) and Medicaid HMO programs and tighter
control by the HMOs over prescription drug use
•
The Legislature is expanding Medicaid reform by increasing the use of HMOs to deliver
care to Florida’s Medicaid beneficiaries. In the 5 counties currently under a Medicaid
reform pilot, enrollment in an HMO or a PSN is mandatory. Legislation requires most PSNs
to apply for conversion from a FFS to a capitated payment model by September 2012,
raising doubts about whether FFS can survive reform
•
Medicaid rates are different for each county and are based on FFS and financial data. A 5%
reimbursement cut for providers has been proposed

Linchpin Manifesto
I am an artist. • I take initiative • I do the work, not the job. •
Without critics, there is no art. • I am a Linchpin. I am
not easily replaced. • If it’s never been done before, even
better. • I make it happen. Every day. • Every interaction
is an opportunity to make a connection. • Energy
is contagious. The more I put in, the more the world gives
back. • I raise the bar. I know yesterday’s innovation is today’s
standard. • Rule-breaking works better and is
worth the effort. • I will not be brainwashed into
believing in the status quo. • There is no resistance if I don’t
allow it to defeat me. • I embrace a lack of structure
to find a new path. • I am surprising. (And often
surprised). • I donate energy and risk to the cause. • I turn
charisma into leadership. • The work matters.
Go. Make something happen.
