Individual and family plans. Florida uses the federally facilitated marketplace at HealthCare.gov — Florida does not operate its own state-based exchange. Plans are ACA-compliant qualified health plans regulated by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (FLOIR). Florida consistently has one of the highest marketplace enrollment counts in the country (about 4.2 million Floridians enrolled for plan year 2025), driven by a large self-employed and gig-economy population.
Qualified health plans and subsidies. Marketplace plans cover the federal essential health benefits. Most Florida enrollees qualify for premium tax credits, and many also qualify for cost-sharing reductions on silver plans. Open enrollment runs Nov 1 – Jan 15. Special enrollment periods apply to qualifying life events. Florida has not expanded Medicaid, which leaves a coverage gap and pushes more low-income working adults onto the marketplace with subsidies.
Florida Medicaid context. Florida Medicaid is administered by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) through the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) program. Florida has not expanded Medicaid under the ACA: parents qualify only up to roughly 31% FPL, and childless non-disabled adults do not qualify regardless of income. Pregnant women qualify up to 191% FPL and children up to 215% FPL through Florida KidCare. The 2023 ACS uninsured rate stands at 15.5%.
Employer group plans in Florida. Florida employers with 1 or more employees can offer small-group health insurance year-round (Florida guarantees small-group access at 1+ employees, more generous than the federal 2+ standard). Mid-market employers across the Miami, Orlando, and Tampa Bay metros use level-funded, self-funded, or ICHRA designs to control renewals — Florida's hurricane-zone risk-pool dynamics and seasonal workforce make funding-fit a year-round conversation. Benefitra's Funding-Fit Discovery models the math across all seven arrangements.
