Navigation Health Law Section applauds refinement of healthcare licensure provision
Jamie Gelfman
The Health Law Section officers are applauding recent legislative changes they say provide much-needed clarity to a licensure requirement that had caused significant compliance challenges and uncertainty for Florida’s healthcare providers.
The Florida Legislature established F.S. §408.810(15) in 2023 that imposed a new minimum standard for healthcare licensure that applied to more than 25 provider types regulated by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), including hospitals, nursing homes, ambulatory surgical centers, assisted living facilities, hospices, and healthcare clinics.
