Which insurance plans does MCDS accept?+
MCDS currently works with eligible plans from Aetna, Cigna, Florida Blue, UnitedHealthcare, and TRICARE, as well as qualifying Florida Medicaid fee-for-service coverage and private-pay families. Coverage, prior authorization, and out-of-pocket responsibility vary by plan and by individual policy.
