Better Outcomes Start with Early Access to Quality Care
About "From the Start"
Florida Community Care proudly supports the Agency for Health Care Administration’s (AHCA) "From the Start" initiative, a statewide effort to improve birth outcomes for Florida Medicaid families. This initiative aligns enhanced services across all managed care plans to make accessing needed care and resources easier from pregnancy through a baby’s first year of life.

Reducing Care Gaps
Focuses on early care and continued support through pregnancy and postpartum to increase prenatal and postpartum care to improve birth outcomes.

Enhancing Access to Services
Expands access to services that support a healthy pregnancy and recovery, such as the coverage of doula visits, telehealth, nutrition support, breast pumps, mobile obstetric care, and non-emergency transportation.
3
Increasing Care Options and Coordination for High-Risk Moms
Helps care teams identify high-risk pregnancies early and respond quickly through prenatal risk screening, high-risk prenatal visits, maternal-fetal medicine referrals, behavioral health screening, remote patient monitoring, and targeted care management.
4
Pay for Quality
Targets incentives and provider performance strategies to support evidence-based
maternal care, including increasing pregnancy notification, first-trimester
prenatal care, postpartum follow-up, and provider education.
5
Breastfeeding Support
Supports mothers after delivery with continued care and education, including lactation support, breast pump coverage, postpartum depression screening, newborn education, and more
"From the Start" is a statewide maternal health initiative led by AHCA through Florida Medicaid and managed care health plans. It aligns enhanced services and supports to create a more coordinated system of care for moms and babies.
