Florida Home Care, Home Health and Hospice Policy Manuals
Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) licenses home health agencies under Part III of Chapter 400, Florida Statutes, and Rule 59A-8, and hospices under Part IV of Chapter 400 and Rule 59A-38. Agencies that give only homemaker and companion services register with AHCA instead of holding a license. Choose the manual for your license or registration. The home health and hospice manuals also follow the federal Conditions of Participation for Medicare-certified agencies, and every policy names the rule it follows.
