Public Data Overview
Increasing access to transparent health care data is foundational to CIVHC’s mission to equip individuals, partners and organizations with resources and unbiased data needed to improve health and health care. We provide public data based on information from the Colorado All Payer Claims Database (CO APCD) to help consumers shop for care, and support other Change Agents in their efforts to make health care more equitable, affordable and high quality.
