Healthy Behaviors Reward ProgramsJoin Healthy Behaviors Rewards programs to achieve certain health goals and earn rewards:
Understanding telehealthWhat is telehealth?
Telehealth is a convenient and simple way to access a provider anytime, anywhere. Telehealth means having a visit with a provider using technology so you or your child can remain at home and still receive the medical care you need.
What types of care can I receive through telehealth?

Referrals and approvalsSome services need a referral from your child’s primary care provider (PCP) before getting care. Your child’s PCP will sign a referral form and send you to a doctor in our plan.
Some services and benefits need prior authorization (approval). This means your child’s doctor must ask Simply to approve the services first.
You do not need a referral or approval for these services:
Some medicines need a preapproval, or an OK, from us before your doctor can prescribe them. Drugs that require preapproval will be listed with PA next to the drug name. For those medicines, your doctor must submit a preapproval request before you can fill your prescription.
Drugs that require preapproval include those that:

Preventive services, like well-child visits and routine vision screenings, are free! Copays range from $5-10 and a full list is shown in your member handbook.
American Indians and Alaskan Natives who meet certain requirements do not pay any copays.

In addition to small copays for certain services, you pay a monthly premium (payment) to Florida Healthy Kids to keep your child’s coverage. You can pay your premium in these ways:
