I know this must look like a begonia but it is a kalanchoe. I have had two master gardeners verify this plant and the official name for it is; Kalanchoe blossfeldiana - double form and the common name is Flaming Katy. (there is more than one Kalanchoe Flaming Katy).
Here are a couple of links with photos. Wait a few seconds for the single photo to appear.

This is a rose begonia. Water it thoroughly and re-water when beginning to dry out. They like light, but not bright direct sunlight.

I believe your plant is in the Kalanchoe family. There are so many different varieties that I cannot put a specific name to your plant but it appears to in the rose variety. You can Google Kalanchoe and see the many varieties and you may be able to locate one like yours. These are very easy to care for and can be grown indoors or out doors in some zones.

This is a begonia plant. A rose begonia to be exact. The plant likes moderate sunlight and not direct sunlight. Keep it away from windows. You will water this plant like other houseplants. When the plant is dry give it water. You always need to check houseplants to make sure the soil is wet and moist. Don't over water this plant.

Looks like a begonia. Don't let the soil dry out completely. Stick your finger into the soil, and if it dry to your first knuckle, it's time to water.

Avoid overwatering, which will cause the foliage to turn yellow and eventually drop.

Definitely Kalanchoe. You can tell by the thickness of the leaves: it's a succulent.
