All Payer Claims Database (APCD) Vendor Approval Presented by: Marina Coleridge & David Flores 1
Background Over the past 10 years a growing number of all-payer claims databases (APCD) have been established. APCDs are a response to a need for comprehensive multipayer data that allows stakeholders to understand the cost, quality, and utilization of health care. APCDs are large-scale databases that systematically collect medical claims, pharmacy claims, dental claims, and eligibility and provider files from private and public payers 1. Recommendations from health policy fellowships and organizations for employers and consumers advocate establishing APCDs in the overall effort of containing healthcare costs. 2 In March of 2014 HSS submitted a comprehensive RFP for an APCD to 13 vendors. 1 The Basics of All-Payer Claims Databases APCD 2 PBGH Policy Brief: Price Transparency 2013, Catalyst for Payment Reform 2014 Model Health Plan Contract Language on Payment Reform 2

Excerpt from July 2013 Board of Supervisors Transparency Resolution: FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors recommends that Health Service system healthcare vendor contracts should contain contract language requiring health plans, health care providers and physician groups to submit data to the HSS all payer claims database per data specifications negotiated with the Health Service System. Excerpt from HSS Wellness Plan approved June 2014 by Health Service Board HSS is developing a new claims database that will enable streamlined tracking and reporting of claims data from the health plan providers. This database will contain medical and Rx claims and will form the core of a benchmarking system. The claims database will provide information necessary for cost analysis, quality metric development, plan design based on coverage and utilization and rate setting. The third party vendor will be tasked with bringing the claims data from each health provider into the database, and running standard summary level reports. A claims database maintained by a third party compliant with all privacy and security requirements ensures employee data will remain completely confidential 5
