A statewide association that develops and supports local systems of care to optimize the health of moms, babies, and their families.
Healthy Start MomCare Network
The Healthy Start MomCare Network, Inc. is an administrative service organization representing all Healthy Start Coalitions under the provisions of s.409.975(4)(a), F.S.
The Network is tasked with implementing services provided to Medicaid participants during pregnancy and after delivery under the state’s federal Medicaid waiver. The Network contracts with the state Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and the coalitions to establish specific programs and procedures to improve pregnancy outcomes and infant health among Medicaid recipients, including, but not limited to, coordination with the Healthy Start program, immunization programs, and referral to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, and the Children’s Medical Services program for children with special healthcare needs. In addition, the Network coordinates with managed care plans in providing care for Healthy Start participants and monitors performance on specific measures to determine the adequacy, timeliness, and quality of services for pregnant women and infants.
How to Access Services
Healthy Start services may be accessed by completing the state’s prenatal risk screen at a provider’s office, by referral through a community agency or managed care organization, or self-referral to CONNECT.
Most Medicaid clients are required to enroll in a Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) plan for their medical services like doctor visits, hospital care, prescribed drugs, mental health care, and transportation to these services. This website will provide you the Medicaid Managed Care plans available in your geographical area, guidance about selecting an MMA plan and how to make a plan choice.
If a DCF Applicant for Medicaid does not select a plan they will be assigned to one if they are required to be enrolled in an MMA plan to receive Medicaid services. Please make your plan selection today so you can be enrolled in the plan that best meets your needs when you are determined eligible.
