   10  
   11         Section 1. Subsection (5) of section 409.9072, Florida
   12  Statutes, is amended to read:
   13         409.9072 Medicaid provider agreements for charter schools
   14  and private schools.—
   15         (5) For reimbursements to private schools and charter
   16  schools under this section, the agency shall apply the
   17  reimbursement schedule developed under s. 409.9071(5). Health
   18  care practitioners engaged by a school to provide services under
   19  this section must be enrolled as Medicaid providers and meet the
   20  qualifications specified under 42 C.F.R. s. 440.110, as
   21  applicable, or meet provider qualifications as set forth in the
   22  Florida Medicaid Certified School Match Program Coverage and
   23  Limitations Handbook. Each school’s continued participation in
   24  providing Medicaid services under this section is contingent
   25  upon the school providing to the agency an annual accounting of
   26  how the Medicaid reimbursements are used.
   27         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2020.
