Florida Health Care Plans, Inc. (FHCP) was incorporated as a not-for-profit entity on June 2, 1971, commenced operations on July 1, 1974, and was federally qualified on August 21, 1976.

FHCP was also initially designated by the Agency for Health Care Administration as an Accountable Health Partnership in 1994, for the purpose of writing Small Group coverage in the State of Florida.
