# Florida AHCA Terminates Medicaid Midwife Contract

Florida's Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) terminated the Medicaid provider contract of midwife Sizzly Auer effective June 3, 2026, following an investigative report uncovering multiple violations. These included delivering babies without required insurance coverage and receiving over $326,000 in Medicaid payments despite a history of regulatory noncompliance and a $12 million medical malpractice judgment. The termination reflects heightened state enforcement of Medicaid provider compliance and ongoing investigations into licensing and regulatory adherence by the Florida Department of Health.
