What this is
End-to-end support to license a Florida Home Health Agency with AHCA (Chapter 400 Part III, F.S.; Chapter 59A-8, F.A.C.). A Florida HHA employs its caregivers and delivers skilled nursing, therapies, medical social services and home health aide care. The application also carries two famously easy-to-miss requirements, and we handle both for you.
What your Florida home health agency license package includes
- Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP), filed with the local county emergency-management office for each county served (the county has 60 days to review). It is an easily missed step that delays many applicants.
- Proof of Financial Ability to Operate: CPA-compiled projected financial statements for the first two years, including a contingency fund of at least one month’s average operating expenses (Rule 59A-35.062).
- Accreditation planning: an HHA that provides skilled care must file proof of accreditation, or of its accreditation application, with the license application, then show full accreditation within 120 days (s. 400.471, F.S.). AHCA then accepts the accrediting organization’s survey in place of its own periodic survey, so we help you choose the right accreditor early.
- Policies & procedures built to Chapter 59A-8, with Level 2 screening, filed via the AHCA portal.
How it works
- Kick-off call to confirm counties served and accreditation strategy.
- We prepare your license application, CEMP and financial package.
- You review; we refine until it is right.
- We guide submission and stay with you through to licensure.
Indicative timeline: typically around 60 to 120 days for a complete application, and the initial state fee for a Florida home health agency license is $2,005 ($1,705 licensure fee plus a $300 fee). Florida is a heightened claim-review state. New Medicare enrollment is also paused nationwide until at least November 2026, so we prepare you to enroll the moment it reopens. Fees and timelines change, so we confirm current figures with AHCA and CMS as part of your project.
