Connecticut is a Dense suburban market with minor rural northwest gaps state. MA plan sponsors operating here must satisfy CMS time-distance standards across all 8 counties — a task that demands accurate county classifications and pre-loaded specialty categories. Getting it wrong means adequacy gap notices and potential filing rejections.
