Not be the dependent of a state employee eligible for health insurance
Not be in a public institution
State law also requires information about a child’s access to or voluntary cancellation of employer health insurance. This is explained in the application and instructions. The requirements for Medicaid may be different than for other Florida KidCare programs.
Cost
There is no charge for Medicaid for children (KidCare Medicaid).
For other Florida KidCare programs, monthly premiums depend on your household’s size and income. Most families pay $15 or $20 a month. If you need to pay more, Florida KidCare will let you know.
Make checks or money orders payable to Florida KidCare. Do not send cash. If your
child (or children) is approved for Medicaid or denied coverage, your premium payment
will be refunded.
You may have to pay small charges or co-payments for some services.
