Medicaid MMA Plans
If you are selecting a Medicaid plan and would like to join our practice, please note that we only participate Sunshine Health and Simply Healthcare*.
*Note - we do not accept Florida Healthy Kids, which is a separate plan administered by Florida KidCare.
All PHCA offices are accepting new patients on these plans.
Affordable Care Act (ACA) / Marketplace Plans
We receive many inquiries regarding the ACA and whether we accept any of the marketplace plans. It is up to the managed care companies if they choose to include us in the network for any plan, and we are not always notified or given specific plan names. Even if we are contracted with a major managed care company (e.g. United HealthCare, Humana, etc.) that does not mean we are included in all of their plans, including marketplace plans. Each company can have hundreds of plans, and each of those plans can have different provider networks included.
Our recommendation to patients is to check the participating providers listed for any plan you are considering. If our pediatricians are not listed, that means the plan has not included PHCA in their network.
Please Note: If PHCA is not listed on a plan you are considering, be aware that plan may have a narrow network that does not include a variety of providers and may not cover a full range of benefits and services.
