Does Better Care ALF accept Medicaid?
Better Care ALF isn't on AHCA's Medicaid waiver list. It does tell the state it accepts Medicaid as a form of payment, which can mean another Medicaid service such as Assistive Care Services. Ask which Medicaid program it bills before you count on it.
See ALFs that accept Medicaid in Tampa and every Florida ALF on the waiver list, or read how the Medicaid waiver for assisted living works.
