Interpretation

A grade describes two public discovery documents at one point in time. It does not inspect patient data, authenticated behavior, or clinical quality.

Registry provenance

How this entry was verified

live CapabilityStatement fetch (fhirVersion 4.0.1, software AmeriHealth Caritas 1.0.0); implementation.url matches the requested base exactly. The URL is printed on the corporate developer portal's Swagger API Details table, which carries three Florida plan IDs (FLDS, FLEX, KCHC) all labelled 'AmeriHealth Caritas Next, Florida'; all three serve byte-identical documents, so the entry is the row the table leads with and the other two are in the candidate log. One entry per organization per surface. The consumer brand site amerihealthcaritasnext.com prints no base URL and does not link the portal, which is recorded because it is where a member would look (recorded 2026-08-19). No later re-check is recorded, so the date above is the last time anyone checked this entry against the live endpoint.
