The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) has announced a series of statewide community meetings to support the upcoming transition of the Florida Medicaid Children’s Medical Services (CMS) Plan from Sunshine State Health Plan to Molina Healthcare of Florida.

As previously announced through a Florida Medicaid Health Care Alert, Molina Healthcare of Florida will officially assume operation of the CMS Plan effective October 1, 2026.
