About Florida KidCare
Florida KidCare
The State’s Health Insurance Program for Children in Need
Florida KidCare provides affordable, quality health and dental insurance for children. Currently, several hundred thousand children in Florida live without healthcare coverage, most are eligible for low-cost or free health insurance through the Florida KidCare program.
Millions of Florida children from birth through the end of age 18 rely on Florida KidCare for the head-to-toe coverage they need. But it is not just about the numbers, it is about the real people whose lives are improved through access to child-centered health care. You could say it is insurance with a lot of heart, providing comprehensive coverage and financial protection to families with children; increasing access to, and use of recommended healthcare. Florida KidCare reduces healthcare disparities among low-income and children of color.
To qualify for free or low-cost coverage, a child must:
- Be under age 19
- Meet income eligibility requirements
- Be a U.S. citizen or qualified non-citizen
