Healthcare Providers

One of the most important roles as a parent is keeping your child(ren) healthy. Knowing who to turn to when medical concerns arise is important. Your child's pediatrician or primary care doctor is the first person to turn to for the well-being of your child(ren).

If you have not chosen your child(ren)'s primary care doctor, it is important to know that certain health plans, will assign one. If you do not know what Medicaid Health Plan, your child(ren) are assigned to, please contact the Medicaid Area 11 Office at 305-593-3000, Option: 3 or Medicaid Options at 1-888-367-6554.

Once you know what health plan your child(en) is assigned to, please contact their respective plan to verify who their primary care doctor assigned is. For more information on your child(ren)'s respective plan, including listing of specialists, please visit the healthplans website or contact Member Services.

In order to obtain information, you must have the child's Medicaid ID# or Gold Card number, Child's Birth Date, and last four digits of the Social Security number.
