Florida Medicaid/CHIP Coverage
At the start of 2022, a reported 4,539,216 Floridians were already enrolled in a Medicaid/CHIP plan, an enrollment figure that has been in increase since the Marketplace Open Enrollment Period of October 2013.1 From that enrollment period to present, Florida has seen an increase in enrollment with Medicaid/CHIP plans of 22.84%.1 This growth shows promise for agents looking to work with Florida residents, especially considering the state’s adoption of efforts to encourage enrollment in eligible residents, increasing demand for knowledgeable agents to help select plans for new enrollees.1
Although the percentage of Florida residents receiving their health care coverage through these plans is increasing, many enrollees could benefit from the advice of an expert to find a better in-network provider that offers the care they need. The self-reported quality of care recorded by adult enrollees in Florida meets only 19 of 27 standards.1 Members you could work with in Florida will find value and place trust in the health insurance expertise of a licensed agent.
