Florida Healthy Kids Award
Simply Healthcare Plans, Inc. (Simply) has officially been awarded a Florida Healthy Kids (FHK) statewide contract. Effective January 1, 2020, Simply will offer coverage to FHK-eligible children in all 11 regions, representing 67 counties.
FHK’s mission is to ensure the availability of child-centered health plans that provide comprehensive, quality health care services. The program has a subsidized plan for children ages 5 through the end of age 18 whose families exceed the income eligibility threshold for Medicaid, as well as full-pay options available for those who don’t qualify for subsidized coverage.
The FHK plan is designed specifically with kids in mind and provides children with access to the services they need at each unique stage of growth and development. Health services are delivered through our network of local doctors, specialists, hospitals, pharmacies and other health care providers.
