Plaintiffs are challenging a rule from the state Agency for Health Care Administration that prevents Medicaid reimbursements to health providers who render gender dysphoria care.

U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle denied a state motion for summary judgment, saying “there are genuine factual disputes critical to resolving the merits."

The Republican-controlled Senate voted 27-12 along party lines to confirm Ladapo. The Senate also confirmed 15 other agency heads, including Jason Weida as AHCA secretary.

A lawsuit alleges that the state’s prohibition on Medicaid coverage for gender dysphoria is unconstitutional and violates federal laws prohibiting discrimination based on sex.

Seeking what is known as a writ of mandamus from the appeals court, the state’s lawyers argued that Jason Weida should not have to testify because he is a high-ranking official.

A judge grants a request to handle the case as a class action. The claimants say the state stops providing incontinence supplies to Medicaid beneficiaries older than 21.

State attorneys argued Jason Weida should not have to testify because he is a high-ranking official.

The Agency for Health Care Administration, which largely oversees the Medicaid program, issued a contract for legal services and costs, including fees for "expert witnesses."

Jason Weida was appointed to run the Agency for Health Care Administration, which oversees the state's Medicaid program. He fills in for Simone Marstiller, who recently stepped down.

The Agency for Health Care Administration oversees a Medicaid program that had grown to more than 5.53 million beneficiaries, as well as hospitals, nursing homes and most other health care facilities in Florida.

Christopher Kimball steps into the post as the state’s medical marijuana industry could be poised to double in size and as challenges pile up over the decision to award a sought-after license to a Black farmer.

The disputes involve budget fine print that directed money to AHCA to adjust reimbursement rates so Medicaid providers would pay at least $15 an hour to "direct care" employees
