Applying for Florida KidCare

An application is valid for 120 days after Florida KidCare receives it. If your children do not get enrolled in MediKids, Healthy Kids, or the Children’s Medical Services Network within the 120 days, Florida KidCare will notify you and you
will need to re-apply. An application that is older than 120
days may still be used to determine if your children are
eligible for Medicaid.

Some Florida KidCare programs may have limited space, and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. When MediKids, Healthy Kids and the Children’s Medical Services Network are full, enrollment for these programs will close. Medicaid is always open for children who qualify.

If enrollment for MediKids, Healthy Kids and the Children’s Medical Services Network is closed, Florida KidCare will check to see if your children might be eligible for Medicaid. You will receive more information if your children are eligible for Medicaid. If your children are not eligible for Medicaid, you will need to re-apply when MediKids, Healthy Kids, and the Children’s Medical Services Network are open again.
