The Department's Office of Children's Medical Services Managed Care Plan administers Florida's Title V Children with Special Health Care Needs Program.

This program focuses on several priorities:

  • Increasing access to medical homes and primary care for children with special health care needs;
  • Improving health care transition for adolescents and young adults with special health care needs to all aspects of adult life; and
  • Improving access to appropriate mental health services to all children.

In addition to our state's Title V priority areas, Children's Medical Services supports many specialty programs throughout the state that specialize in serving at-risk pregnant women and children with complex medical conditions. These programs include Craniofacial/ Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate, Hematology/Oncology, HIV, Regional Perinatal Intensive Care Centers (RPICC), and Florida's Program for All Inclusive Care for Children, also called Partners in Care: Together for Kids (PIC:TFK).
