Increasing Transparency in Health Care
|
Hoosiers now have more information available to help make important health care decisions.
This week, the Indiana Department of Insurance launched the Indiana All
Payer Claims Database (APCD).
Created by a 2020 law championed by Senate Republicans and unanimously supported by the General Assembly, the APCD allows consumers to see where they can get the most cost-effective and highest quality medical services close to home.
Information available in the database includes:
- A list of health care providers that perform a service within certain distances from your zip code;
- The average out-of-pocket cost for a service; and
- The quality rating for that facility.
