A new Medicare Advantage entrant
Surfaces adequacy gaps at Week 4, not Week 12
Illustrative scenario based on a common network-build situation — not an actual customer. Blueprint is a new product.
Executive Summary
Consider a plan expanding its Medicare Advantage footprint across 15 counties ahead of a CMS filing deadline. Managing 90+ providers in spreadsheets across multiple staff members leaves the team blind to real-time adequacy status. Blueprint changes that workflow — surfacing critical gaps at Week 4 of a 16-week build, enabling targeted outreach before the window closes, instead of emergency contracting at premium rates.
The Challenge
- 1
Managing 90+ providers across 15 counties in disconnected spreadsheets with no centralized view of adequacy status.
- 2
Adequacy gaps not discovered until weeks before a CMS submission deadline, forcing emergency contracting at premium rates.
- 3
Providers contracted under emergency timelines drive up costs and strain relationship capital with key provider groups.
The Solution
Import all 90+ providers into Blueprint in days, establishing a single source of truth for the entire network build.
County-level adequacy scoring surfaces critical gaps at Week 4 of a 16-week build — giving the team 12 weeks to act instead of 3.
Outreach campaigns replace manual email threads, enabling systematic follow-up with priority targets across every county.
