Florida KidCare and Florida Healthy Kids
Florida KidCare is for children, not adults. To qualify for premium assistance, a child must:
Be under age 19
Be uninsured
Meet income eligibility requirements
Be a U.S. citizen or qualified non-citizen
Not be eligible for Medicaid
Not be in a public institution
Families who are not eligible for premium assistance may buy Florida KidCare (MediKids or Healthy Kids) at the “full pay” premium rate.
You may apply for Florida KidCare if your child has other health insurance now. We suggest that you keep your child's current health insurance until you receive an approval letter from Florida KidCare letting you know when your child's new Florida KidCare coverage will start. Florida KidCare coverage starts on the first day of the month after you make your first premium payment.
