Health Council of South Florida

Florida KidCare offers affordable, quality health and dental insurance for children from birth through the end of age 18. More than 174,000 children in Florida are currently living without health insurance, but are eligible for low-cost or completely free health insurance through Florida KidCare. With four unique Florida KidCare programs, Medicaid for children, MediKids, Florida Healthy Kids and the Children’s Medical Services Managed Care Plan — the simple and free application process is designed to identify the program that fits a family best. 

The Health Council of South Florida is a local Florida KidCare assister and our team of Outreach Specialists can help families to enroll in this low cost program. Most families pay nothing at all for coverage, and many families pay as little as $15 or $20 a month. Families who are not eligible for subsidized coverage may purchase Florida KidCare at the full-pay monthly premium, which is competitively priced and child-centered compared to other options.
