Medicaid Patients Forced to Move

A Bradenton nursing home has been suspended from Florida’s Medicaid program on charges of fraud, forcing the home's Medicaid patients to be moved on Friday.  

About 25 to 28 Medicaid recipients residing at the Riverfront Nursing and Rehabilitation Center were in the process of moving, according to the Bradenton Herald.  On April 15, Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration issued an order suspending Medicaid privileges for the nursing facility.  
 

Originally founded in December 2006 as an independent grassroots publication dedicated to coverage of health issues in Florida, Health News Florida was acquired by WUSF Public Media in September 2012.
