We have partnered with Florida Healthy Kids Corporation to provide education, outreach and application assistance for the Florida KidCare Program.

What is Florida KidCare?

Florida KidCare is the state of Florida’s quality, affordable health, and dental insurance for kids. Florida KidCare is made up of four unique programs—Medicaid for children, MediKids, Florida Healthy Kids and Children’s Medical Services Managed Care Plan. All four Florida KidCare coverage options provide head to toe coverage and include doctor visits, check-ups, hospital stays, surgeries, immunizations, prescriptions, emergencies, vision and hearing, dental, mental health services and more.

Who can apply for Florida KidCare?

Florida children from birth through the end of age 18 are eligible for Florida KidCare, even if one or both parents are working. Lawfully residing immigrant children are also eligible for coverage, regardless of their parents’ immigration status.

How to apply for Florida KidCare

Families can apply for Florida KidCare online at www.floridakidcare.org or with a paper application (online is suggested). To prepare for the application, have the following information ready:
