Overview of what is and isn't in the Colorado All Payer Claims Database

Considerations

  • Complete claims for Medicare FFS are available for medical claims through December 2022, and for pharmacy claims through December 2021.
    • For 2023, some medical and pharmacy claims data are available from supplemental plans, however, it is important to note when viewing Medicare FFS data and all payer data, complete claims for Medicare FFS are not represented.
  • Total people represented in the Overview tab for all years includes any unique person who has been included in the database since 2013 regardless of whether they still live in Colorado or have coverage in the state.
  • Estimates of the percent of the population represented in the CO APCD is based on comparisons using U.S. Census Bureau data which includes insured people covered by federal plans such as the VA, Tricare and Indian Health Services which are not available in the CO APCD.
