Children’s Medical Services Managed Care Plan (CMS Plan) is a Medicaid and KidCare health plan option for children with special health care needs and is offered by the Florida Department of Health (Department). For general information on the CMS Plan, visit www.CMSPlanFlorida.gov.
The public meeting is in regard to the CMS Plan service delivery model administered by the Florida Department of Health only. Representatives of the Department will facilitate discussions with CMS Plan families, providers and stakeholders and the general public to gather public input intended to inform the evaluation of the feasibility of improved models for Title XIX, XXI or V funded delivery systems for Florida’s medically complex children with special health care needs (CSHCN). While the meeting will include a presentation on factors impacting the CMS Plan model and information on other service delivery models used around the nation to serve children with special health care needs, the goal is to solicit input from the public related to serving families and children with medically complex, special health care needs.
