STATE, AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMIN. v. MIED, INC.

No. 1D02-4110.

869 So.2d 13 (2004)

STATE of Florida, AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION, Appellant, v. MIED, INC., a Florida corporation and John E. Carter, individually, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Rehearing Denied April 5, 2004.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, and Christopher M. Kise, Solicitor General, and Louis F. Hubener, Deputy Solicitor General, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

James C. Rinaman, Jr., and Sonya H. Hoener of Marks Gray, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellees.

KAHN, J.

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) appeals from a $20 million jury award in favor of appellee, MIED, Inc. The jury found that AHCA had breached its Medicaid Provider Agreement with MIED and further found against AHCA on a claim of "equitable estoppel." Because we find that MIED's breach of contract theories fail as a matter of law and that equitable estoppel is not available as a cause of action on the facts here, we reverse.
