Medicaid Guidance & $0 ACA Transitions
Free and low-cost healthcare guidance for qualified individuals, children, and families. Understand Florida Medicaid income thresholds, Florida KidCare (CHIP), and seamless zero-gap transitions into $0/month ACA subsidized plans.
Navigating State Assistance & Marketplace Subsidies
Understanding healthcare assistance programs in Florida can be complex. Florida has specific income and category requirements for adult Medicaid eligibility (typically limited to low-income pregnant women, parents or caregivers of minors, individuals with disabilities, and seniors). If your household income changes or exceeds state limits, you risk losing public assistance.
The good news: If you earn slightly too much for Medicaid, you automatically qualify for maximum federal ACA subsidies. Hundreds of thousands of Floridians transition from Medicaid directly into comprehensive private health insurance plans from UnitedHealthcare, Florida Blue, or Ambetter for $0/month in premium with virtually zero deductibles.
Did You Recently Lose Medicaid Coverage?
If you or your family received a notice that state Medicaid coverage is ending, you trigger an immediate 60-day Special Enrollment Period (SEP) under federal ACA law. Prime Health Global advisors will review your household income, verify that you qualify for Advance Premium Tax Credits, and enroll you into private health coverage before your Medicaid coverage lapses—ensuring zero gap in medical protection for your family.
