Florida announces comment period on proposed long-term-care waiver renewal
Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration says public comments on its proposed Medicaid Long-Term Care Waiver renewal will be accepted November 2 through December 1, 2026.
What the record says
Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration announced an upcoming public comment period on a proposed renewal of the Medicaid Long-Term Care Waiver in an October 30 health care alert.
The agency says the program provides eligible disabled adults ages 18 to 64 and adults 65 or older with long-term-care services in community settings as an alternative to nursing-facility placement, using a managed-care delivery model.
The proposed renewal updates projected enrollment, Participant Direction Option utilization goals, cost-neutrality estimates, and quality-improvement and performance-measure sections. AHCA says comments will be considered before the proposed request is submitted to the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
The announced comment period runs November 2 through December 1. The official notice provides email and mailing instructions for recipients, providers and other interested parties.

Limits and what is not established
This is a proposed waiver renewal and public-notice process, not federal approval or an announcement that benefits, eligibility or services have changed. Individual coverage questions should be directed to the agency or the person’s health plan.
