The Florida Adequacy Challenge
Why building in Florida requires local expertise.

MA plan sponsors operating here must satisfy CMS time-distance standards across all 67 counties — a task that demands accurate county classifications and pre-loaded specialty categories. Getting it wrong means adequacy gap notices and potential filing rejections.
North Florida rural counties have low provider density — Jefferson, Liberty, Lafayette counties often require exceptions
