The State of Florida offers comprehensive health coverage to meet the needs of you and your family through a variety of health plans. Each plan is focused on helping you stay healthy through preventive care benefits as well as providing access to healthcare services when you need them. Each option covers most of the same types of health services, but provides those services and shares costs with you in a different way.
Your work location OR county of residence will drive HMO plan choices. A map is available on the DMS site. The PPO plan is available to all counties & out of state employees.
