Case Management

Client's income must be documented for the past three months.

We are required by program guidelines to verify that a client is living in Florida, and intends to receive medical care in Florida.

This was, or will be done at the time of the initial intake and labs. Nothing further is required.

As the payer of last resort, the program also must verify the client is not eligible for other private or public funds to cover their care.
