Overall Assessment: BCBS Florida has a number of issues, including that their Table of Contents links expire before new links are posted (usually by the 20th of the month), and 8 of their 557 files are not accessible. Additionally, some of the data for major health systems in Florida is missing, which could be part of the inaccessible 8 files but it's more likely that these are not being reported on at all.
