Total timeline from LLC formation to first Medicaid trip is typically 3–5 months across Southeast states. Medicaid enrollment takes 30–90 days (Florida’s AHCA enrollment is 60–120 days). Broker credentialing (Modivcare or MTM) adds another 45–90 days. Providers who begin LLC formation, insurance, and Medicaid enrollment simultaneously — rather than sequentially — achieve the shortest timelines. Florida and Louisiana tend to have the longest timelines; Mississippi and Tennessee the shortest.
