Florida Medicaid Providers – How to File a Complaint

If the issue involves a Medicaid Managed Care Plan, you should use the plan’s provider complaint process prior to submitting a complaint to the Agency.  All plans have a provider complaint system to allow providers to dispute plan policies, procedures, or any aspect of a plan’s administrative functions, including proposed actions, claims/billing disputes, and service authorizations.  Plans must maintain a complete and accurate record of all complaints and share this information with Agency. Plan contact information is available online at Plan Complaint Contacts for Providers [ pdf 245.8 kB ] .

If your issue does not involve a plan or you are unsuccessful in addressing your issue with the plan, you can submit a complaint to the Agency using one of the options below.

  1. To submit a complaint online you may use the Florida Medicaid Complaint Form . Please refer to the NEW Provider Complaint Tip Sheet [ pdf 276 kB ] for helpful hints on submitting your complaint.
  2. To submit a complaint by phone, please call the Medicaid Helpline at 1-877-254-1055 (TDD 1-866-467-4970). Staff are available to assist you Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm EST.

When submitting your complaint online, you also have the option of attaching any related documents. Please remember that submitting attachments containing patient information about non-Medicaid members is a HIPAA violation. Additionally, attachments that include enrollee information for multiple plans on the same document cannot be accepted.
