No. 1D16-5310

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

February 27, 2019
Rehearing Denied May 28, 2019

Joanne B. Erde and Donna Holshouser Stinson of Duane Morris LLP, Miami, for Appellant.

Tracy Cooper George of the Agency for Health Care Administration, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Cape Memorial Hospital, Inc., challenges a final order issued by the Agency for Health Care Administration ("AHCA"), finding it was overpaid with Medicaid funds for services provided to undocumented aliens. As AHCA is barred from conducting a retrospective review of prior authorized claims pursuant to section 409.905(5)(a), Florida Statutes, the Final Order is reversed and no overpayment is owed by Appellant.
