SB 22-068

Senate Bill 22-068 requires the creation of a tool that allows health care providers to easily view and search through reimbursement data from the All-Payer Claims Database. This tool will start with data from 2018 and must be updated at least once every year, helping healthcare providers understand how much they are being reimbursed for their services. The bill has been signed into law, meaning it is now active and the necessary funding of $155,250 has been allocated to make this tool a reality for the 2022-23 fiscal year. This affects health care providers who use the All-Payer Claims Database in Colorado.

Official Summary

The act requires the administrator (administrator) of the all-payer health claims database (database) to create a tool to facilitate the review of certain health claims reimbursement data that are included in the database. The tool must include 2018 health claims reimbursement data as the first year of available data. The act includes minimum requirements for the design of the tool, including how the information will be displayed and searchable by users of the tool. The act requires the administrator, subject to available appropriations, to update the tool at least annually. For the 2022-23 state fiscal year, to implement the act, the act appropriates $155,250 from the general fund to the department of health care policy and financing for use by the executive director's office for the database.
