PER CURIAM.

    Appellant, Cape Memorial Hospital, Inc., challenges a final
order issued by the Agency for Health Care Administration
(“AHCA”), finding it was overpaid with Medicaid funds for services
provided to undocumented aliens. As AHCA is barred from
conducting a retrospective review of prior authorized claims
pursuant to section 409.905(5)(a), Florida Statutes, the Final
Order is reversed and no overpayment is owed by Appellant. Lee
Mem’l Health Sys. Gulf Coast Med. Ctr. v. State of Fla., Agency for
Health Care Admin., 1D16-1969, (Fla. 1st DCA Feb. 27, 2019).
    REVERSED and REMANDED for entry of an order consistent
with this opinion

B.L. THOMAS, C.J., and JAY and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.

                _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
