Pacific Providers Alliance
Managed a 58-county CA build with a 4-person team
Executive Summary
California is among the most complex states for Medicare Advantage network adequacy — 58 counties spanning dense urban metros, inland valleys, and remote rural areas, with 35 competing MA plans driving provider supply constraints. Pacific Providers Alliance needed to build a viable MA network across all 58 counties with a 4-person team. Blueprint's California-specific county classification data, parallel campaign management, and real-time adequacy scoring made the difference between a viable filing and a deficiency-heavy submission.
The Challenge
- 1
58 California counties with dramatically different county classifications — from LA's dense urban core to remote Sierra Nevada rural counties — each with different HSD thresholds.
- 2
35 competing MA plans had contracted many of the highest-impact specialists in urban cores, leaving limited provider supply in key specialty categories.
- 3
A 4-person team managing simultaneous outreach across 200+ target providers across 58 counties with no campaign automation.
The Solution
Blueprint's California county classification map pre-loaded, with urban/suburban/rural thresholds automatically applied for all 58 counties by specialty.
Recruitment priority ranking highlighted which gap counties had available providers — team focused effort on the 11 counties with the most adequacy impact.
Parallel campaign sequences for 8 specialty tracks ran simultaneously; the team reviewed outcomes, not logistics, every morning.

“California at scale with four people. I don't know how we would have done this without Blueprint's parallel campaign management and real-time county scoring.”
