How to Find a KidCare Health Insurance Provider in Miami, Florida

Parents may struggle to maintain health insurance for their kids if a household's private insurance comes from a private sector in recession. The Florida KidCare program is a stopgap to help low-income and uninsured families sustain coverage. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, about 10.2 million children in the U.S. have special health care needs, such as asthma, and they are the most vulnerable. The Children's Medical Services Network is one of four partners in the KidCare network which services birth to 18-year-old kids, and you can search its database for Miami providers.
