The state has not adopted Medicaid expansion. Apply at https://www.myflfamilies.com/services/public-assistance/access-florida-food-medical-assistance-cash or call 1-877-711-3662.
On maternal health specifically: Florida Medicaid (Statewide Medicaid Managed Care) has extended postpartum Medicaid coverage to 12 months (effective 2022-04-01), and does not cover doula services through Medicaid.
Florida's parent income ceiling is 26% of the federal poverty level — one of the lowest in the country — and because the state has not expanded Medicaid, an estimated 415,000 Floridians fall into the coverage gap. Florida Voices for Health organizes an annual gap-closing advocacy campaign.
