Re: Florida Healthy Kids

http://www.floridakidcare.org/ Florida KidCare enrollment is open all year. Florida KidCare is our state’s children’s health insurance program for uninsured children under age 19. It is made up of four parts: MediKids, Healthy Kids, the Children’s Medical Services (CMS) Network for children with special health care needs, and Medicaid for children. When you apply for the insurance, Florida KidCare will check which program your child may be eligible for based on age and family income. Eligibility and Cost Apply for

What do you have to do to qualify for Florida Health Kids? Do you have to be below a certainly income level?

I've been trying to figure out whether or not to go with this insurance or to simply keep the insurance that we have. The insurance that we have (CIGNA) is pretty much useless since they cover none of the therapies, etc. that my PDD son needs. I see that Healthy Kids covers some, but when I called my OT, who does take it, I understand that the benefits that they provide for OT, Speech, ABA, etc., are at their discretion. Does anyone have any experience with whether or not they provide benefits to high functioning kids? I HATE dealing with insurance but obviously, if they actually provide some benefits, it would be worth my efforts. Thanks in advance to everyone.
