enrollment.portal_url, enrollment.portal_name, and enrollment.phone are quote-gate verified against a captured Maryland Department of Health HealthChoice MCO Comparison Chart (health.maryland.gov/mmcp/healthchoice, dated 2/1/26). The same chart is the tier-1 roster source for three of the state's four service areas (areas.anne-arundel.plans, areas.caroline.plans, areas.cecil.plans): the chart's own 'Open Areas' row states each MCO's open counties (five MCOs are marked STATEWIDE; three MCOs -- Jai Medical Systems, MedStar Family Choice, United Healthcare Community Plan -- list a specific subset of counties each; Kaiser Permanente is marked CLOSED TO NEW ENROLLMENTS with no open counties). Cross-referencing those three explicit county lists against Maryland's 24 jurisdictions produces four roster-distinct combinations, which is why geography is 'regions' and not 'statewide' -- the source itself shows real county-level variation, so the file models the real regions per the frozen spec rather than forcing a statewide frame. The areas.allegany.plans fact (Allegany and Garrett counties, the only two jurisdictions absent from all three limited-county MCOs' lists) is marked not_found: the chart never names either county anywhere in its text (only 'STATEWIDE' or an explicit list of OTHER counties), so while the honest inference is that only the five statewide MCOs serve Allegany and Garrett, that inference cannot be quote-anchored to this source and the area is intentionally left unpublished rather than asserted. Kaiser Permanente is included as a plan record (it is a currently contracted, accredited HealthChoice MCO with existing enrollees) but is not listed in any service area's plan_ids, because the same chart shows it closed to new enrollments statewide and not accepting out-of-area enrollment -- a new HealthChoice member cannot currently choose it in any county per this source. enrollment.choice_window_days is null with an honest not_found fact: Maryland Health Connection's own FAQ page describing the plan-change window (a one-time change within 90 days of initial enrollment or auto-assignment, and a 28-day window before auto-assignment) returned HTTP 403 on both a plain fetch and a headless Chromium fetch via pnpm plans:fetch-snapshots, so it could not be captured as a snapshot; the choice_window_note prose below reflects that same publicly stated rule as background context, but the gated choice_window_days field is left unverified rather than asserted from an uncaptured page. Per-plan member_phone numbers come from the same MCO comparison chart (informal citation, not a separate quote-gated fact, consistent with TX.json/CA.json/NY.json's existing convention that only load-bearing enrollment and roster fields carry facts[] entries). Provider directory URLs, formulary/pharmacy URLs, and extra benefits for all 9 plans were gathered from each plan's own official Medicaid page but are not yet cited by a quote-gated fact, so the state as a whole stays unverified, the same standing as TX.json/CA.json/NY.json today. Maryland does not carve its Medicaid pharmacy benefit out to a single statewide formulary the way New York's NYRx does; the state publishes a statewide Preferred Drug List (PDL) that sets prior-authorization rules across HealthChoice, but each MCO still runs its own pharmacy network and covered-drug list, so each plan's formulary_url points to that plan's own page, noted in each plan's quality.note.
