New Tool Unlocks Provider Health Care Payments in Colorado
CIVHC recently released the Provider Payment Tool, the first health care transparency tool of its kind in Colorado. The tool, based on legislation passed in the 2022 session, shows how payments made to providers vary across the state.
While most other available data, including CIVHC’s Shop or Care tool, provide prices based on hospital and other facility fees and payments, this is the first comprehensive analysis identifying how much Colorado doctors and other providers get paid. The tool includes codes for thousands of services (CPT and HCPS codes) and was developed using claims information in the CO APCD.
Price transparency efforts are essential in promoting a more efficient and effective health care system. This public data helps increase transparency and equips payers and providers with information to benchmark their own payments, while helping consumers and employers understand reasonable costs.
Recordings and slides for previous webinars are available on the Event Resources page on civhc.org.
All of us, no matter our role in the system, have a part to play in lowering health care costs and improving care. Lasting change is possible when grounded in a foundation built from evidence-based best practices and data driven decisions.
