Blueprint Analytics

See every county.
Score every gap.
File with confidence.

Blueprint Analytics runs CMS-framework adequacy scoring across every county in your service area — in real time, throughout your build, not just at submission. For Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, Exchange / QHP, and D-SNP — in one platform.

We've manually pulled zip-code files for dozens of counties the week before filing — and missed gaps that should have been obvious. Blueprint replaces that entire process, so a Cardiology gap surfaces while there's still time to fix it.

Why Teams Switch to Blueprint Analytics

The old way of scoring adequacy is broken.

Gaps found at submission — not during the build

End-of-cycle adequacy scoring means you find failures when there's no time left to fix them. Blueprint scores continuously so gaps surface in Week 4, not Week 20.

Spreadsheets can't do county × specialty math

Every county × specialty combination requires its own count check and time/distance check against CMS thresholds. For a 25-county service area, that's 200+ calculations — manually.

Three tools. Three exports. Zero coordination.

Most teams run credentialing in one system, contracting in another, and adequacy in a third — then reconcile manually. Blueprint connects all three into one real-time score.

How we determine your score

Three checks. One adequacy verdict.

Every Blueprint score runs the same three-step process — the same logic CMS uses, run before you submit.

1

We load your federal rulebook

The CMS HSD Reference File is Blueprint's starting point. It tells us exactly how many providers of each specialty you need in each county, and the maximum drive-time or straight-line distance they can be from enrollees — segmented by county class.

Minimum provider count by specialty + county class
Time/distance thresholds (Urban / Suburban / Rural)
Facility standards: hospitals, SNFs, dialysis, HHA
Updated at each CMS plan-year release
2

We validate every provider you've contracted

Your contracted roster is cross-referenced against NPPES — the national NPI registry. We confirm each provider's active NPI, correct specialty taxonomy, and geocoded practice location. Ghost providers are flagged before they cost you.

NPI status: active vs. deactivated
Taxonomy code → HSD specialty credit mapping
Practice address geocoding (road-network, not zip centroid)
Multiple-location NPI: each site scored independently
3

We run the county × specialty gap math

For every county × specialty combination in your service area, Blueprint checks two things simultaneously: does your roster meet the provider count standard? Does it meet the time/distance standard? Both must pass. If either fails, you get the exact gap — and a list of providers who would fix it.

Count check: contracted NPIs vs. HSD minimum
Access check: 90th-pctl drive-time vs. CMS threshold
Pass / At Risk / Failing classification per row
Recruitment targeting: who fixes each gap

The result: a pass/at-risk/fail score for every county × specialty combination in your build.

Not a vague "network score." A specific, actionable verdict — months before CMS submission — with a recruitment list attached to every gap.

Three levels of adequacy intelligence.

Start with public-data feasibility. Add your contracted roster for submission-grade scoring. Overlay verification and claims data for Quest-competitive accuracy and exception evidence.

Public Intelligence

Market feasibility before you commit

Best for:

Pre-contract feasibility, new market entry, expansion planning

Data inputs

  • CMS HSD Reference File
  • Provider Directory APIs
  • NPPES
  • Exchange PUFs
  • TiC files

Outputs

  • County-specialty gap analysis
  • Provider supply map
  • Recruitment target list
  • County adequacy risk score
  • Build difficulty rating

What Blueprint scores are built on.

Public data is sufficient for feasibility intelligence. Plan-supplied data makes scores submission-grade.

Public

CMS HSD Reference File

Annual MA minimum provider counts + time/distance standards by county class

Public

Provider Directory APIs

CMS-mandated public APIs from MA organizations, Medicaid MCOs, and QHP issuers

Public

NPPES / NPI Registry

National provider identity, taxonomy, practice locations, secondary sites

Public

Exchange PUFs

CMS plan, network URL, service area, and rate files for QHP plan years

Public

Transparency in Coverage

In-network rate files to infer provider–plan relationships and network membership

Plan Data

Client Contracted Roster

Fully executed contracts with provider NPI, specialty, location, and network IDs

Plan Data

HSD Tables (HPMS)

Plan's official HSD submission with provider/facility credits for NMM comparison

Verification

Claims / Encounters

Activity verification: confirms providers actually see members (ghost-provider detection)

Public sources require no client data. Plan Data and Verification tiers require data sharing agreement.

Sample Report Output

Every county. Every specialty. Every gap — with a fix.

Blueprint Adequacy Reports give you a county-specialty scorecard, the specific providers needed to close each gap, and a ranked list of the top recruitment targets — ordered by adequacy impact, not just proximity.

1

County-specialty scorecard

Pass / At Risk / Failing by county and specialty. Time/distance percentile and provider-to-population ratio shown for each row.

2

Recruitment target list

In-market providers not yet contracted, ranked by adequacy impact. Shows specialty, location, NPI, and public network affiliations.

3

Exception evidence starter

For failing counties, Blueprint generates the exception evidence checklist: distance documentation, alternative access, transport arrangements, and telehealth credits.

4

HSD-style export

Tier 2 and above: export an HSD-formatted table pre-populated from your contracted roster for HPMS/NMM submission prep.

Exception evidence required for rural gaps: drive-time documentation, alternative access documentation, and nearest in-network provider record. Blueprint generates the evidence checklist.

Exception management built in.

Not every gap can be closed before submission. Blueprint generates the exception evidence framework so you go into the process prepared — not scrambling.

Step 1

Gap identified

County/specialty scored as failing. Blueprint flags it automatically and adds it to your exception queue.

Step 2

Evidence checklist

Blueprint generates the required documentation: drive-time calculations, nearest alternative provider, telehealth access, transport arrangements.

Step 3

Document repository

Upload supporting evidence directly to the exception record. Auditable trail of what was submitted and when.

Step 4

Exception packet export

Generate a regulator-ready exception packet — formatted for CMS exception filing or state adequacy review.

Important: Blueprint Analytics is a planning and build-management tool — not a CMS-certified submission system.

Blueprint is designed as a pre-flight check that tells you whether your network will pass adequacy before you file. Official adequacy determinations are made by CMS through HPMS/NMM (Medicare Advantage), state regulators (Medicaid), and CCIIO (Exchange/QHP). Blueprint Analytics does not constitute regulatory advice. If processing any PHI or member data, ensure all data sharing agreements, BAAs, and HIPAA-compliant data handling are in place.

Why we built Blueprint Analytics

We used to find out about adequacy gaps at the worst possible time — the week before filing. We built Analytics so teams catch them at Week 4 and recruit proactively.

Catch gaps early

We built the state Medicaid adequacy rules in so teams don't have to explain them. The HSD report comes out submission-ready, not as another spreadsheet to wrangle.

Submission-ready by design

Blueprint is a new product, built by a team with decades of hands-on network-build experience.

Analytics is powered by your CRM pipeline.

Every provider you move through the Blueprint CRM — LOI sent, LOI signed, contract sent, contract signed — automatically updates your adequacy score. No exports. No reconciliation. Your pipeline is your adequacy progress.
