AHCA Contact Information

AHCA HFRS Reporting
When AHCA opens a new event for a specific emergency-related event, providers must report their status in HFRS each morning by 10 am ET and as their status/needs change. Failure to do so could result in the provider getting fined. If you Email AHCA at ahcaeoc@ahca.myflorida.com or contact one of the LeadingAge Southeast Emergency Response staff listed at the top of this webpage.

Facility Re-entry
Facilities that evacuate and want to return to their community (facility) must ensure that the facility is undamaged and all critical systems (e.g. electrical, medical gas, ventilation) are functional and staffing is sufficient. If power is not fully restored, even if generators are operational, facilities must receive approval from their county Emergency Management Office (EMO) prior to re-entry. This ensures local EMOs are aware of your return should resources need to be diverted to support your facility.

Facilities should also report to your county EMO all structural damage, no matter how small or large, for determining cost estimates for emergency management and funds distribution. If your facility is damaged, contact the AHCA Office of Plans and Construction (AHCA OPC) at 850-412-4477to discuss damage and impact prior to re-occupancy. Visit the Office of Plans and Construction’s webpage for additional instructions. ALFs with damage should contact their County EMO.
