Information about Florida KidCare and Family-related Medicaid
Florida KidCare
Florida KidCare is the umbrella program for the government-sponsored health insurance programs – Medicaid, MediKids, Florida Healthy Kids and the Children’s Medical Services (CMS) Health Plan – that provide coverage for Florida children from birth through the end of age 18. Florida KidCare includes free, subsidized and full-pay options based on family income and household size. Most families pay nothing at all, and many families pay $15 or $20 a month for all children in the household. KidCare has year round open enrollment and families can apply any time.
