Frequently Asked Questions About the Florida Medicaid Health Information Network

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration launched a free electronic health record (EHR) portal that will enable Medicaid provider organizations to access up to 18-months of Medicaid claims history for participating Medicaid enrollees. The EHR data for participating Medicaid recipients includes office visits and hospitalizations, diagnoses and associated procedures, prescription history, lab event history, radiology event history, immunizations, and e-prescribing. Provider organizations can look up patient eligibility and benefits, and to submit claims to Medicaid and other payers. In the future, health care providers will have access to clinical decision support tools that analyze claims data to identify gaps and duplications in care.
