Florida Healthy Kids, a public/private organization providing quality health insurance to Florida's
children, wants to inform families about the 30-day open enrollment period for affordable
healthcare coverage available to uninsured children in Florida.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2005, qualified families can enroll their children in KidCare by simply completing
a one-page application, along with income verification documents, and mailing it back by Jan. 30,
2005. No applications can be processed after the last day of this open enrollment period and
health coverage will begin after eligibility has been determined and the full premium amount has
been received. Most families pay either $15 or $20 per family per month; some families may pay
more. If your application is approved and additional funds are needed before coverage can begin,
Healthy Kids will send you a letter.

“Parents can make a New Year’s resolution to enroll their uninsured children in this program,” said
Rose Naff, executive director of Healthy Kids. “What better way to start off the New Year than to
have the peace of mind that you can take your kids to the doctor instead of the emergency room
when they’re sick.”

Since it began in 1990, Florida Healthy Kids has offered working families access to high quality
doctors and preventative care for their children at a low cost. KidCare now covers more than
300,000 children statewide.
