Bill > S0710

This bill revises Florida's health care programs for children and adults by renaming part II of chapter 409, Florida Statutes, to the "Florida Kidcare and Healthy Florida Programs" and establishing the "Healthy Florida" program for uninsured adults. It clarifies definitions within these programs, including terms like CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) and modified adjusted gross income, and modifies eligibility requirements for Florida Kidcare. The bill also prohibits causes of action against the Florida Healthy Kids Corporation for failure to provide health services, revises minimum health benefits coverage under Florida Kidcare, and adjusts the duties of the Department of Children and Families and the Agency for Health Care Administration concerning these programs. Additionally, it makes changes to provider contracts and includes appropriations for the new Healthy Florida program.
