Capital Health Plan is...
A federally qualified, non-profit health maintenance organization (HMO) created in 1982 to provide comprehensive and coordinated medical care for a fixed, prepaid fee with minimal (or no) copayments and no deductibles. This prepaid fee covers members' health care needs from routine physicals to hospitalization.
Highly satisfied members; extremely low member disenrollment rates. CHP leads Florida health maintenance organizations in this area.
