Capital Health Plan Is...

A local HMO focused solely on serving the four county area surrounding Tallahassee, providing coverage to 113,000 members. A federally qualified, non-profit health maintenance organization (HMO) created in 1982 to provide comprehensive and coordinated medical care.

Highly satisfied members; extremely low member disenrollment rates. CHP leads Florida health maintenance organizations in this area.

A mixed model HMO, combining the advantages of:

  • Two modern health center complexes where physicians, nurses, and allied health care professionals directly employed by Capital Health Plan provide coordinated care for CHP members in facilities that offer the convenience of "one stop shopping," and
  • An extensive network of affiliated primary and specialty care physicians who provide care to members in their own offices, located throughout the service area.

At Capital Health Plan, a medical home is much more than a physical building; it's every aspect of health care coordinated by your personal primary care physician. As a Capital Health Plan member, your primary care physician knows you well and provides expert health care advise tailored to your needs. You have the choice of 120 primary care physicians across the Capital City region, including practitioners at two CHP medical centers dedicated exclusively to Capital Health Plan members.
