Re: Bay Crest Nursing Center: 2001 and 2002 Licensure Renewal;
DOAH Case No. 01-2813 (2001) and AHCA Case No. 200201405 (2002)
Dear Dave:
This will confirm the settlement agreement reached between AHCA and Bay Crest
Nursing Center in the above-captioned litigation. These cases relate to Bay Crest’s licensure
renewal applications for 2001 and 2002, and the requirement that Bay Crest include a Medicaid
surety lease bond with its applications.
Specifically, pursuant to Section 400.179(5)(d)2, Florida Statutes, AHCA has agreed to
accept payment of a 2% non-refundable fee in lieu of a surety lease bond, and such fee is to be
calculated based upon the difference between the required surety bond amount and the actual
amount of the surety bond in place.
The parties agree that the amount of the non-refundable fee for the 2001 renewal is
$4,080.00 and for the 2002 renewal is $13,246.00, for a grand total of $17,326.00. for both years.
Accordingly, upon receipt of this payment and in consideration of the payment of $17,326.00
from Bay Crest, AHCA will immediately withdraw its Notice of Intent to Deny Bay Crest’s
licensure renewal applications for 2001 and 2002, and will issue those licenses, Each party will
bear its own attomeys fees and costs stemming from this litigation.
Sincerely,
Christine T. Messana, Esq.
Senior Attorney, AHCA

attached Correspondence of November 20, 2002.
