Families may make credit card payments 24 hours a day, seven days a week, either by phone or by accessing the Healthy Kids web site. Families may also arrange to have payment automatically withdrawn (ACH) from their accounts on an ongoing basis. Beginning in 2010, families have the option of paying their monthly premium by cash. The vendor selected to accept cash payments has hundreds of locations throughout Florida. Families can make their premium payment in person by providing their family account number and their cash payment. The payment is electronically transferred to Florida Healthy Kids Corporation’s third party administrator. Another payment option starting in 2011 is for families to pay by text message. Families choosing this payment method are provided an online link to sign up for the service. During the sign up process the family identifies the cell phone number they will be using and the account from which the funds will be deducted and select a personal identification number (PIN). Once enrolled, the family will receive a text message at the beginning of each month reminding them that a payment is due. To make a payment, the family provides their PIN authorizing the payment and deduction from their account. The funds will be automatically withdrawn from their account and the family will receive a text message confirming the payment has been made. 8.2.2.
