Tallahassee, FL (March 20, 2023) – Florida Complete Care, a Medicare Advantage special needs plan for people who live in a nursing home, assisted living facility, or may be homebound with complex health issues that require coordinated comprehensive care, is pleased to announce that it has been accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). 

Accreditation distinguishes Florida Complete Care (FC2) from many other health care plans through its adherence to rigorous standards of care and safety. Achieving AAAHC Health Plan Accreditation demonstrates that FC2 embraces quality and industry best practices with integrity and efficiency. 

“Achieving accreditation through AAAHC is proof of our commitment to the highest quality of care for our members and shows the hard work our team puts in to provide exceptional service,” said Abby Riddle, president of Florida Complete Care. “We are honored to have received this accreditation and will continue to work on behalf of our members to provide the best care possible.” 

Status as an accredited organization means Florida Complete Care has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care set by AAAHC. More than 6,600 ambulatory health care organizations across the United States are currently accredited by AAAHC. 

Ambulatory health care organizations seeking AAAHC Accreditation undergo an extensive self-assessment and onsite survey by AAAHC expert surveyors – physicians, nurses, and administrators who are actively involved in ambulatory care. The survey is peer-based and educational, presenting best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
