From the funds in Specific Appropriation 191, the Agency for Health

provided by state enrolled medical equipment companies. In addition,
pursuant to sections 409.961 through 409.985, Florida Statutes, no
language may be introduced to limit the ability of Medicaid managed care
plans to provide incontinence medical supplies during the term of the
contracts for these services including any extensions. The agency shall
seek any federal Medicaid waiver necessary to implement this provision.
