Notice of Declaratory Statement

AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION
Health Facility and Agency Licensing
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Agency for Health Care Administration has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Anthony Martin and Long Life Home Care, Inc. on May 08, 2009. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:
Petitioners filed an Amended Petition for Declaratory Statement on July 27, 2009 regarding the issue of what constitutes “identical controlling interests” for the purposes of Section 400.476(1)(a), Florida Statutes. Specifically, the issue was whether or not Anthony Martin could serve as administrator for four home health agencies of which he was a controlling interest. The Agency answered the question in the negative on the basis that the four home health agencies had different controlling interests because they were different licensees and because the ownership of the licensees was not identical among the four licensees.
A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Mark Hinely Agency for Health Care Administration Legal, MS #3, 2727 Mahan Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32308. Please refer all comments to: Mark Hinely.
