Summary

Summary

In one sentence

Florida KidCare is the state's income-based health and dental insurance for children. Enrolment is open year-round, costs are based on the child's age, household size and adjusted gross annual income, and the program states many families pay $15 or $20 a month to cover all qualifying children in the household. Applications go through the KidCare parent portal or by phone.

What this means for your family

Written from the official pages cited at the bottom of this page. Where the official page is silent, so are we.

What is this?
Florida KidCare states it offers high-quality, income-based health insurance just for kids.
Why does it matter?
For families over the Medicaid income line, this is usually the next coverage option, and it does not have a closed enrolment window.
How does this connect to the rest of the manual?
The Children's Medical Services Managed Care Plan inside KidCare is the route most often used by children with special health care needs.
