• The Department of Children and Families determines eligibility for the Medicaid program and administers the Behavioral Health Network for children ages 5 through 18 with serious emotional disturbances.
• The Department of Health administers the Children’s Medical Services (CMS) Network for children with special health care needs from birth through age 18.
• The Florida Healthy Kids Corporation administers the Florida Healthy Kids program for children ages 5 through 18. The corporation also determines eligibility for the non-Medicaid parts of the program, collects monthly premiums, and manages the customer service call center.
