The bill establishes a new section in Florida law, specifically section 409.90631, which mandates the Agency for Health Care Administration to provide Medicaid coverage for blood pressure monitors and cuffs for eligible recipients. The bill defines a "blood pressure monitor and cuff" as a device used to measure blood pressure levels, aiding in the treatment of hypertension. Coverage is contingent upon a diagnosis of hypertension by a licensed health care practitioner and a prescription for both medication and the monitoring device. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the coverage will include costs for necessary repairs or replacement parts for the devices.

To maintain coverage, Medicaid recipients must engage in follow-up care with their health care provider at least once every six months during the first 18 months after receiving the device, and at least once every 12 months thereafter. The bill also requires the agency to seek federal approval for its implementation and to account for the financial impact of this coverage in the Medicaid managed medical assistance and long-term care managed care program rates starting October 1, 2026. The act is set to take effect on the same date.
