Your children and their siblings could be one of the 179,000 children eligible for completely free or low-cost health and dental insurance through Florida KidCare – even if one or both parents are working.
Approximately 2.3 million children rely on Florida KidCare for the head-to-toe coverage they need from birth through the end of age 18.
Florida KidCare is designed to provide services to children at each stage of growth and development. Health and dental services are delivered through quality plans that offer a choice of local doctors, dentists, specialists, hospitals, pharmacies and other health care providers. Benefits include but are not limited to:
- Doctor Visits
- Check-ups
- Vision & Hearing
- Dental Care
- Hospital Stays
- Surgeries
- Immunizations
- Prescriptions
- Emergencies
- Mental Health Services
Florida KidCare includes free, subsidized and full-pay options based on family income and household size. Most families pay nothing at all for coverage, and many pay as little as $15 or $20 a month. Families who do not qualify for free or subsidized coverage may purchase a competitively priced full-pay plan.
Lawfully residing immigrant children are eligible without a waiting period, and information about a parent’s immigration status won’t be asked.
With no application fee and year-round enrollment, applications are always accepted. Parents or guardians can apply online at www.floridakidcare.org or call 1-888-540-KIDS (5437).
