Florida Medicaid providers: new areas of attested expertise available to you in 2025 

We have added new areas of attested expertise for Florida Medicaid providers which take effect Feb. 1, 2025. Providers with the required qualifications will be eligible to provide services and submit claims for these services beginning Feb. 1, 2025.  

If you have the required qualifications for these areas of expertise, you can update your provider directory profile any time in the secure Provider Express Provider Portal. By doing so, your participation agreement with Optum will automatically be amended to reflect these changes.

Remember, you will be eligible to provide services to members and submit claims for services provided under these newly added attested areas of expertise on or after Feb. 1, 2025.  

New areas of attested expertise for Florida Medicaid providers:

• Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) – An evidence-based treatment for young children with behavioral problems.
• Functional Family Therapy (FFT) – A family counseling service that is a short-term, high quality intervention program for youth and families in both clinic and in-home settings.
