L.V., Appellant, v. SUNSHINE STATE HEALTH PLAN, INC., Appellee.
L.V., as designated representative on the behalf of A.V., a Medicaid recipient under a plan administered by Sunshine State Health Plan, Inc. (“Sunshine Health”), appeals a final administrative order of the Agency for Health Care Administration (the “Agency”) dismissing L.V.’s request for a Medicaid Fair Hearing. Because the Agency received L.V.’s request 183 days after Sunshine Health denied L.V.’s appeal and issued a Notice of Plan Appeal Resolution (“NPAR”), along with information regarding L.V.’s right to request a fair hearing, and L.V.’s initial brief fails to identify any specific error below, we affirm the challenged order. See Fla. Admin. Code R. 59G-1.100(8)(g) (“A fair hearing request by an enrollee must be received by the Agency within 120 days of the date the required NPAR is sent to the enrollee.”); Fla. Admin. Code R. 59G-1.100(9)(b)3. (“A Hearing Officer is authorized to deny or dismiss a request for a fair hearing for reasons consistent with this rule, including the following: ․ [a] fair hearing request is untimely[.]”); V.T. v. Liberty Dental Plan of Fla., Inc., 338 So. 3d 989, 989-90 (Fla. 3d DCA 2022).
Affirmed.
PER CURIAM.
