Florida LTC Pharmacy Billing: Key Facts You Should Know

What this video covers

This video covers the essentials of billing as an LTC pharmacy in Florida: how Part D and Florida Medicaid managed care interact, what short-cycle dispensing means for claim volume, and where eligibility errors come from. It is intended for Florida LTC pharmacy owners, operations leads, and new billing hires who need a clear picture of the state landscape.

• Managed care dominates. Florida Medicaid runs through managed care plans, so one resident can shift payers mid-month and invalidate claims already queued.
• Dual eligibles need sequencing. Many Florida LTC residents hold both Medicare and Medicaid, and billing the wrong payer first produces avoidable rejections.
• Census drives eligibility work. Admissions, discharges, and hospital stays change coverage daily, so eligibility must be reverified continuously, not just at intake.
• Daily rejection cadence. Working rejections within 24 hours protects timely filing deadlines and keeps days in accounts receivable under the 40-day target.
