What a Florida AHCA Medical Director agreement should cover — scope and statutory responsibilities, chart/records/billing access, protocol-review and corrective-action authority, availability, survey cooperation, compensation, termination, transition, and records.
Clinical governance reviewed by Armando A. Falcon, MD (FL ME 84789) · Florida regulatory framework reviewed August 2026.
A strong AHCA Medical Director agreement defines the scope of the role and its statutory responsibilities, the clinic’s cooperation and access obligations (charts, records, credentials, billing), the director’s protocol-review and corrective-action authority, availability and survey cooperation, compensation, termination, transition, records handling, and outstanding compliance matters — with insurance and indemnification reviewed by counsel.
Spell out the director role and statutory responsibilities, plus the clinic’s obligations to cooperate and to give the Medical Director access to charts, records, provider credentials, and billing information needed to perform oversight.
Define the director’s authority for protocol review, corrective action, and incident escalation — so oversight has teeth, not just a title.
Address availability expectations, survey cooperation, compensation, termination, and a clean transition — including records handling and any outstanding compliance matters — before they are needed.
The agreement should not promise automatic approval or signature of clinic protocols. Clinical approval must remain within the Medical Director’s professional judgment. Have counsel review indemnification and insurance.
