True North helps Florida home care businesses get licensed by AHCA, enrolled in Medicaid and the health plans, ready for their survey, and then marketed. One team from start to finish, in English and Spanish.

Every agency's path is a little different. These are the stops most Florida home care businesses make, with the state deadlines along the way.
The deadlines come from Florida law. No one can promise when AHCA, Medicaid or a health plan will act — and we won't.
We talk about what you want to build: services, counties, timeline and budget.
We check your plan in writing — license type, administrator, costs, risks and a realistic timeline. You read it and approve it in your private client portal.
We ask only for what your license needs. You upload it in your portal and always see where things stand.
We prepare the application and its attachments and file it.
AHCA has 30 days to tell you about errors or missing items. s. 408.806(3)(a), F.S.
We draft a complete, item-by-item answer for your approval.
You have 21 days to answer, or the application is withdrawn and the fee is lost. s. 408.806(3)(b), F.S.
Our mock survey walks through your agency the way a surveyor will, and we fix what needs fixing first.
Home health agencies are surveyed before the first license is issued. Rule 59A-8.003, F.A.C.
Your marketing launch starts the day the license is issued — never before.
AHCA must approve or deny within 90 days of a complete application. s. 120.60(1), F.S.
Enrollment, credentialing and follow-ups until you're loaded and receiving referrals.
Patients, caregivers and referral partners — plus a calendar of every renewal, review and filing.
Renewals go in between 120 and 60 days before your license expires. s. 408.806(2)(a), F.S.
Most agencies hire a licensing consultant, then a marketing company, then spend months explaining themselves twice. We are both.
Gets you licensed, enrolled in Medicaid and the health plans, ready for survey, and keeps you compliant.
Brings you patients and caregivers once you're open — within what your license allows and Florida's advertising rules.
Because the same team prepared your license, your ads only offer what you're licensed to do, show your license number, and never pay for referrals.
Most clients start with one of these. Every package is quoted as a flat project fee after your consultation.
It depends on your license type, how complete the application is, and AHCA's schedule. The law gives AHCA 30 days to flag missing items and 90 days to decide on a complete application, and home health agencies must pass a survey first. Your validation memo includes a realistic timeline for your situation.
We quote flat project fees, not hourly, based on your license type and what you need. You'll know the price before you commit. The first consultation is free. State fees, insurance and screening costs are separate, and your memo lists them.
No — anyone can apply to AHCA directly. People hire us to avoid the mistakes that cause omission letters, failed surveys and lost months, and to get Medicaid and marketing handled by the same team.
Home health agencies, nurse registries and homemaker-companion registrations, plus changes of ownership, new counties and services, and switching license types.
