Illustrative setting; individual needs and installation requirements vary.

Funding rule: Current allowance requires confirmation with the managed care plan; no statewide $10,000 project cap verified in the reviewed source.

This guide does not determine eligibility or authorise work. Obtain written programme approval before committing to a contractor.

Which programme to ask about

Home accessibility adaptation is a listed LTC service. Ask the care coordinator about assessed need, authorisation, permitted work and programme access.

Your next step in Florida

Ask your LTC plan care coordinator about home accessibility adaptation and the assessment and authorisation pathway. If you are not enrolled, use AHCA’s recipient guidance to identify the intake route.

Questions before getting quotes

  • Does my current coverage include this adaptation service, and is an assessment or waiting list involved?
  • Which tasks and equipment can be authorised for my assessed needs?
  • What benefit remains, and are exceptions or additional approvals available?
  • Must the programme select or approve providers, bids and landlord permissions?
  • Who pays for excluded work, maintenance and future repairs?

A ramp, shower conversion or stairlift is not automatically covered because it appears in a planning guide. Confirm the actual approved scope and local requirements.
