Description:

This study collected administrative data and conducted consumer focus groups and staff interviews to provide information about how service providers are making the transition to delivering rehabilitative, recovery-oriented services. AHCA introduced new administrative service codes to support the transition from traditional day treatment programming containing a focus on consumer monitoring and management to rehabilitative/recovery-oriented services that focus more on consumer self-direction and community functioning. The Community Health Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook (AHCA Handbook) describes these codes and specifies the parameters for service delivery under Florida's Medicaid program.
