Ranks four through six · Higher denial-rate cohort

A top-ten denial rate in this source set

CarePlus Humana FL's 11.8% denial rate is in the highest group of the comparison. The exact rank is #5 of 37. This is aggregate prior-authorization activity for the reporting window, not a probability that a particular service, drug, or beneficiary request will be denied.

Ranks twenty-six through thirty · Lower-middle overturn cohort

Appeal overturns sat below the table midpoint

This contract records a 64.0% overturn rate among filed appeals. Its overturn-rate rank is #30 of 37. The denominator is filed appeals, not all authorization requests. The percentage therefore describes reviewed appeals and must not be read as an individual outcome forecast.

Ranks twenty-six through thirty · Lower-middle reversal reach

Reversals covered a below-median share of denials

The 2,379 recorded reversals amount to 9.6% of this contract's denied requests. The cross-contract rank is #30 of 37. This derived measure combines appeal filing and outcome, so it supplies scale context but does not identify clinical reasons, administrative errors, or coverage rules.

Ranks eleven through fifteen · Upper-middle appeal uptake

Appeal filing exceeded most contract records

The 3,717 filed appeals represent 15.0% of denied requests. That is rank #11 of 37 for filing share. The ratio reports aggregate activity; it cannot reveal why an appeal was or was not filed, whether the underlying cases were comparable, or what happened outside the reporting window.

Ranks eleven through fifteen · Upper-middle request cohort

A substantial authorization workload

With 210,000 requests, this contract sits below the largest systems but above most smaller records. Its request-volume rank is #13 of 37. Volume shows the denominator behind approvals and denials; it is not a measure of plan quality, membership, benefit breadth, price, or future coverage decisions.
