FINAL ORDER


This cause came before me for issuance of a Final Order. In a sanction letter dated November 9, 2011, Respondent, Jumerolis Home Care Corp. was informed the Agency was seeking to impose a fine in the amount of eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00). The letter was sent certified mail, return receipt requested to Jumerolis Home Care Corp. (hereinafter "PROVIDER").

The letter contained full disclosure and notice regarding the PROVIDER'S administrative hearing and due process rights. The PROVIDER filed a petition for hearing. Upon review of documents subsequently submitted by the PROVIDER to the Agency, it was determined the sanction should be recalculated and the fine was adjusted to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). A copy of the correspondence reflecting the recalculated fine is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The PROVIDER paid the fine of $1,000.00 to the Agency's Finance and Accounting Department on February 21, 2012. Copies of the check(s) and final agency action report(s) are also incorporated by reference herein. The PROVIDER withdrew the Petition.

NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING AND MEDIATION RIGHTS

You have the right to request an administrative hearing pursuant to Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. If you disagree with the facts stated in the foregoing Final Audit Report (hereinafter FAR), you may request a formal administrative hearing pursuant to Section 120.57(1), Florida Statutes. If you do not dispute the facts stated in the FAR, but believe there are additional reasons to grant the relief you seek, you may request an informal administrative hearing pursuant to Section 120.57(2), Florida Statutes. Additionally, pursuant to Section 120.573, Florida Statutes, mediation may be available if you have chosen a formal administrative hearing, as discussed more fully below.

The written request for an administrative hearing must conform to the requirements of either Rule 28-106.201(2) or Rule 28-106.301(2), Florida Administrative Code, and must be received by the Agency for Health Care Administration, by 5:00 P.M. no later than 21 days after you received the FAR. The address for filing the written request for an administrative hearing is:


Richard J. Shoop, Esquire Agency Clerk

Agency for Health Care Administration 2727 Mahan Drive, Mail Stop #3

Tallahassee, Florida 32308

Fax: (850) 921-0158


The request must be legible, on 8 ½ by 11-inch white paper, and contain:


  1. Your name, address, telephone number, any Agency identifying number on the FAR, if known, and name, address, and telephone number of your representative, if any;

  2. An explanation of how your substantial interests will be affected by the action described in the FAR;

  3. A statement of when and how you received the FAR;

  4. For a request for formal hearing, a statement of all disputed issues of material fact;

  5. For a request for formal hearing, a concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, as well as the rules and statutes which entitle you to relief;

  6. For a request for formal hearing, whether you request mediation, if it is available;

  7. For a request for informal hearing, what bases support an adjustment to the amount owed to the Agency; and

  8. A demand for relief.


A formal hearing will be held if there are disputed issues of material fact. Additionally, mediation may be available in conjunction with a formal hearing. Mediation is a way to use a neutral third party to assist the parties in a legal or administrative proceeding to reach a settlement of their case. If you and the Agency agree to mediation, it does not mean that you give up the right to a hearing. Rather, you and the Agency will try to settle your case first with mediation.


If you request mediation, and the Agency agrees to it, you will be contacted by the Agency to set up a time for the mediation and to enter into a mediation agreement. If a mediation agreement is not reached within 10 days following the request for mediation, the matter will proceed without mediation. The mediation must be concluded within 60 days of having entered into the agreement, unless you and the Agency agree to a different time period. The mediation agreement between you and the Agency will include provisions for selecting the mediator, the allocation of costs and fees associated with the mediation, and the confidentiality of discussions and documents involved in the mediation. Mediators charge hourly fees that must be shared equally by you and the Agency.


If a written request for an administrative hearing is not timely received you will have waived your right to have the intended action reviewed pursuant to Chapter 120, Florida Statutes, and the action set forth in the FAR shall be conclusive and final.
