Report Addresses State All-Payer Claims Database Reporting by Group Health Plans, Including Privacy Concerns | Practical Law
An advisory committee established under the No Surprises Act (part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA-21)) has issued a report with recommendations to help the Department of Labor (DOL) develop a standardized reporting format for the voluntary reporting of claims information by self-funded group health plans to state all-payer claims databases (APCDs). The committee (referred to as the State All-Payer Claims Databases Advisory Committee (SAPCDAC)) is also authorized to advise the DOL on how states can collect claims data in a standard reporting format.
