Florida Healthy Kids

Full-Pay Program

Current Costs

Aetna Better Health of Florida and Simply Healthcare Plans provide full-pay coverage statewide and Community Care Plan provides full-pay coverage in the following eight Southeastern Florida counties: Broward, Indian River, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Okeechobee, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie.

The Florida Healthy Kids full-pay plan provides health and dental insurance for Florida children who do not qualify for subsidized coverage because of their household size and income.

Florida Healthy Kids remains committed to continuing the full-pay plan and works hard to offer high quality and competitively priced health insurance that is child-centered, including comprehensive medical, dental and the services children need at each stage of growth and development.
