🚨 Florida Medicaid Health Care Alert – Adult Day Care Moratorium 🚨

Effective May 1, 2026, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), with approval from CMS, has imposed a temporary 6-month Medicaid moratorium on the enrollment of new and pending Adult Day Care Providers in Miami-Dade County.

This means:

* No new Medicaid Adult Day Care enrollments will be approved in Miami-Dade County during the moratorium period.
* Pending applications for Adult Day Care Providers will not be approved at this time.
* Existing enrolled Adult Day Care Providers may continue to provide and bill for authorized services.
* Current providers also cannot add the Adult Day Care specialty (113) to an existing Provider Type 67 file during the moratorium.

AHCA states the purpose of the moratorium is to:
✔️ Combat fraud
✔️ Protect taxpayer dollars
✔️ Maintain access to quality patient care

This action was authorized under the Affordable Care Act and approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

📌 Important Note:
Recipients will continue receiving necessary services, and existing providers remain operational.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS FOR HOSPICE & HOME HEALTH 🚨

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced a nationwide 6-month moratorium on NEW Medicare enrollments for Hospice and Home Health Agencies due to concerns regarding fraud, waste, and abuse within the industry.

What does this mean? 👇

✅ Existing hospice and home health agencies already enrolled in Medicare will continue operating as normal.

❌ New agencies seeking Medicare enrollment during this period will not be able to apply for enrollment approval for the next 6 months.

⚠️ This also may impact certain majority ownership changes for agencies that require a new enrollment application.

CMS stated this temporary pause is intended to strengthen oversight, investigate fraudulent activity, and protect Medicare beneficiaries and taxpayer dollars.

This DOES NOT stop agencies that have:
• Already completed enrollment
• Already received approval
• Already gone through the licensing and certification process

However, individuals planning to open a new Medicare-certified Hospice or Home Health Agency should expect delays until the moratorium is lifted or revised.

According to CMS, the moratorium may be extended if deemed necessary.

📢 Home Health Agency Owners Let’s Talk 1099s & Taxes

If your home health agency works with 1099 independent contractors, tax time looks very different than W-2 payroll and misunderstanding it can cost you 💸 or trigger IRS issues.

Here’s what every agency owner (and contractor) should know 👇

✅ 1099 contractors are NOT employees
✔️ No payroll taxes withheld
✔️ No employer-paid F**A
✔️ Contractors are responsible for their own taxes

💰 How 1099 contractors should pay taxes
• Quarterly estimated taxes (IRS Form 1040-ES)
• Self-employment tax (Social Security + Medicare)
• Federal income tax (and state, if applicable)

📄 Agency responsibilities
• Issue Form 1099-NEC by January 31
• Do NOT reimburse personal taxes
• Maintain clear independent contractor agreements
• Avoid misclassification (this is BIG 👀)

🚨 Common mistakes we see
❌ Paying contractors like employees
❌ No written contract
❌ No 1099 issued
❌ No education provided to contractors

✨ Pro Tip for Agency Owners:
Educating your contractors protects YOUR business.
Clear policies = fewer disputes, audits, and headaches.

Are you an agency owner, consultant, or 1099 caregiver?
