FAIFA Members, Please Read the Following and Help Our Friends at Kid Care With Outreach to Fellow Floridians

Nine out of ten families in Florida have health insurance for their children. Please help Florida KidCare to get coverage to the remaining ones.

Florida KidCare provides quality healthcare benefits to children under the age of 19. Children enrolled in the program have access to preventive care such as regular doctor’s visits, immunizations, dental and vision benefits. Most families pay $20 or less per month. Many pay nothing at all.

People can apply for Florida KidCare by simply completing an online application at www.floridakidcare.org. They can also call 1-888-540-5437 to receive an application by mail or help over the phone.

“KidCare is for any child that’s uninsured and our goal is to enroll as many children in the program as possible,” said Rich Robleto, executive director of the Florida Healthy Kids Corporation. “Families are applying everyday because they know there’s nothing like having the peace of mind that you can take your child in for a doctor’s visit without breaking the bank.”

Since it began in 1998, Florida KidCare has offered working families access to high-quality doctors and preventive care for their children at little to no cost. Florida KidCare currently serves more than 1.4 million children, of which 1.2 million are Children’s Medicaid customers and more than 250,000 are enrolled in MediKids, Children’s Medical Services Network or Healthy Kids.

To apply for Florida KidCare, visit www.floridakidcare.org or call 1-888-540-KIDS.
