MediKids Provider Choices

Only Medicaid contracted health care and managed care providers may serve MediKids enrollees.

State law specifies families must choose either a Medicaid-participating managed care plan or a MediPass provider before a child's MediKids coverage begins. Section 409.8132(7), Florida Statutes, lists the options that are available to a family:

• If a child lives in a county with two or more Medicaid managed care plans, the family may only choose a managed care plan;
• If a child lives in a county with one Medicaid managed care plan, the family may choose the managed care plan or MediPass; or
• If a child lives in a county with no Medicaid managed care plan, the family must choose MediPass.

Families with children eligible for the MediKids program can call the toll-free MediKids Helpline at 1-877-506-0578 for assistance selecting a managed care provider.
