John F. Gilroy, Senior Attorney, Agency for Health Care Administration, and David C. Ashburn of Gunster, Yoakley, Valdes-Fauli & Stewart, P.A., Tallahassee, for Appellees.


DAVIS, Judge.

Vantage Healthcare Corporation (Vantage) appeals a final order of the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) awarding a certificate of need (CON) to Manatee Springs Nursing Center, Inc. (Manatee), and denying the application of Vantage. The sole issue is whether AHCA erred in accepting a late filed letter of intent from Manatee. Concluding that the agency erred in departing from the clear and express requirements of its own rule, we reverse.
