An improved system of care delivery that will bring more choice to Florida
Medicaid beneficiaries. Beginning in July 2006, beneficiaries in Broward
and Duval Counties will be the first to direct their own health care under
Florida’s Medicaid program. Florida Medicaid Reform will not change who
receives Florida Medicaid. The current eligibility categories and income and
asset limits will be the same.
