Report to Agency for Health Care Administration Uninsured Work Group, September 24, 2007.

The Health Flex Plan Program was established in 2002 by the Florida Legislature. Its goal was to unite a variety of entities, including HMOs, governmental programs, health are providers, nonprofit organizations and other community resources in order to rovide primary and preventative health care coverage to low-income, uninsured workers.

Currently, there are five state-approved plans in operation. American Care, Inc., a private physician group, and Preferred Medical Plan, Inc., a licensed HMO, operate privately in Miami-Dade County and provide limited benefits. Vita Health Plan is operated by Healthy Palm Beach, Inc., a licensed HMO, and its premiums are partially subsidized by the Health Care District of Palm Beach County. JMH Health Plan is operated by the Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County. JaxCare, which operates in Duval County, is financed through a partnership between the City of Jacksonville, area hospitals, private and corporate donations, and premiums paid by enrollees and their employers.
