Long-term outcomes for children who <br /> receive these treatments include increased functionality, improved mobility and communicative function, and in <br /> many cases, increased learning capacity for an enhanced quality of life. The Medicaid Managed Care program in <br /> the state of Florida has left many children without access to providers of rehabilitation services. Many providers <br /> have chosen not to participate with an onerous program, or long waiting lists limit accessibility to services. The goal <br /> of the Sunshine Kids Program is to allow immediate access to rehabilitation services for all children, regardless of <br /> insurance status. Funds received would be used to cover staff salaries and Clinic overhead to provide therapy <br /> services for these children. The overall cost per visit for the Clinic as a whole in 2016 was $96.96. <br /> 2017044 Page 3 of 23 05/03/2017 <br /> - <br />
