The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) announced on Friday that it will award contracts to five healthcare organizations for the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Program.

The selected firms include Florida Community Care, which will cover Regions A, B, C, D, and I; Humana Medical Plan, and Simply Healthcare Plans, both assigned statewide responsibilities; Community Care Plan, covering Regions E, F, G, H, and I; and Sunshine State Health Plan, also serving a statewide demographic and catering to all three specialized care categories.

The re-procurement process, which involves contracts worth billions of dollars, determines which healthcare providers will manage Medicaid services for the state.

This is a developing story.
