This data provides a snapshot of race and ethnicity information that payers submit to the Colorado All Payer Claims Database (CO APCD) for individual members. Race and Hispanic indicators became required submission fields in September 2019. The remaining race and ethnicity fields are voluntary. Note: The data in this analysis may not fully represent the race and ethnicity distribution for members in the CO APCD as all payers (public and private) are working on improving their data collection and submissions to the CO APCD. To view the requirements for payers, please refer to the most current Data Submission Guide categories ME021 – ME027.
