APCD Advisory Group

All-Payer Claims Database Advisory Group

Connecticut’s All-Payer Claims Database (APCD) was established as a program to receive, store, and analyze health insurance claims data. The analysis of claims data helps to improve health and healthcare delivery in Connecticut by supporting policy and research that address healthcare delivery concerns.

Any state agency, insurer, employer, healthcare provider, consumer, or researcher can request APCD data for evaluating healthcare services utilization, costs, or quality.

The APCD Advisory Group (APCD-AG) is designated to provide strategic guidance, recommendations and ongoing support to the Health Information Technology Advisory Council and the Office of Health Strategy (OHS) including:

• contracting for, planning, implementing and administering the CT APCD;
• obtaining claims data from the State’s medical assistance program and Medicare Part A or B;
• contracting for the collection, management or analysis of data received from reporting entities;
• any action to obtain Medicaid and CHIP data; and
• enhancing the state's use of data to increase efficiency, improve outcomes and the understanding of health care expenditures in the public and private sectors.
