Health Flex Plan Program - Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), Health Care Providers and Insurers Only
The Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) and the Florida Department of Financial Services (Department) announce the availability of the Health Flex Plan, established in Section 408.909, Florida Statutes, that became effective July 1, 2002. The Legislature found that a significant proportion of the residents of this state are unable to obtain affordable health insurance coverage. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to expand the availability of health options for low-income uninsured state residents by encouraging health insurers, health maintenance organizations, health care provider sponsored organizations, local governments, health care districts or other public or private community-sponsored organizations to develop alternative approaches to traditional health insurance that emphasize coverage for basic and preventive health care services.
The initial expiration date of the pilot program was July 2004; however, the
2008 Legislature extended the program to July 2013.
