About
COLORADO ALL PAYER CLAIMS DATABASEIn 2010, the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) appointed CIVHC the Administrator of the Colorado All Payer Claims Database (CO APCD). With implementation grant funding from The Colorado Trust and the Colorado Health Foundation, CIVHC began collecting claims from payers and providing data analysis to inform opportunities and advance the Triple Aim in 2012. The CO APCD is now the state's most comprehensive claims data set representing the majority of insured lives in Colorado and including all major commercial payers, Medicaid and Medicare. Through public and custom data requests from the CO APCD, communities, organizations and individuals have access to essential cost, quality, and utilization insights to help them improve health and health care for Coloradans.Episodes of Care - Payment ReformEpisodes of care are the foundation for developing bundled payments, which means that all of the services for a specific event or condition, like a knee replacement, are combined into a single payment instead of being billed individually between pre-op, surgery fees and post-op care. Many in the health care system believe that this type of "all-in" payment model, focused on value and outcomes, not the number of visits, is a necessary step toward improving care and lowering costs.CIVHC can help stakeholders create new payment models like bundled payments using CO APCD data and analytic tools that help establish baseline episode costs and quality information. We use PROMETHEUS methodology to identify episodes of care by separating typical episode costs from Potentially Avoidable Costs (PACs) and pinpointing opportunities for savings.In addition, CIVHC uses PROMETHEUS episode methodology to calculate prices consumers can expect to pay for common health care services like colonoscopies and knee replacements. Showing consumers what the total "episode" bill will be from pre-op services through recovery helps them be more informed shoppers.
