This bill amends Florida law to authorize the Agency for Health Care Administration to provide Medicaid coverage for treatment of stuttering, including habilitative and rehabilitative services and devices. Specifically, it allows for coverage of speech therapy, both in-person and via telehealth, without limits on the number of visits or restrictions based on the type of stuttering. The bill also includes provisions for the use of various communication technologies for telehealth services and requires the agency to seek federal approval to implement these changes.

Additionally, the bill creates new sections in Florida Statutes that mandate individual health insurance policies, group health insurance policies, and health maintenance contracts to cover similar services for stuttering treatment. These policies must also provide coverage for both in-person and telehealth speech therapy, ensuring that telehealth coverage is at least equal to in-person services. The bill aims to enhance access to necessary treatments for individuals with stuttering, effective from July 1, 2026.
