Between the doctor’s appointments, medications and supplies, costs for diabetes care can pile up very quickly. Having access to insurance is critical. If you are not able to get affordable insurance through your employer, you still have insurance options.
- Apply for State Subsidized Insurance – Depending on your family size and income, you could qualify for full Medicaid where all insurance costs are covered or a state subsidized plan. This might include copays and/or a monthly premium. Visit Florida Kid Care to apply.
- Buy Insurance through the Federal Insurance Marketplace – If you do not qualify for state subsidized insurance, you can visit the Healthcare Marketplace. To view providers and schedule an appointment, please visit Get Covered America. To apply for insurance on your own, go to gov.
- Register as a “Self-Pay Patient” with your Clinic Provider – If you or your child do not have insurance, you can register as receive a discounted rate for the services you receive.
- Apply for a Grant – The Healthwell Foundation provides grants for people with chronic or life threatening conditions who do not have insurance.
