Enhanced Benefit Account Services Program - upcoming trainings

Source: AHCA

You will receive information on the activities that will earn enhanced benefits for you. When you complete one of the activities, credits will be deposited into an account for you. You will be able to access the credits in that account to pay for over the counter health-related supplies that are not already covered by Florida Medicaid, such as vitamins. If you leave Florida Medicaid coverage, you may still use the remaining credits in your enhanced benefit account to pay for health related supplies.

The Agency for Health Care Administration announces all future Enhanced Benefits Advisory Panel meetings.
