Importance of Source of Payment Data
• Source of payment data used for wide variety of public health and healthcare research
• Critical need for policymakers and researchers examining effects of payment policy to compare across databases
• Standardized source of payment data needed to monitor healthcare trends such as access to healthcare and treatment patterns across payer categories

Issues with Payer in Administrative Data Collected Today
• No uniformity across states• NO DEFINITIONS FOR CONCEPTS• Missing Concepts
– For example: bad debt and charity care
• Overlapping Concepts– For example: Health Maintenance Organization
• Obscure Concepts– For example: Central Certification

IMPLEMENTATION I:Hospital Discharge
Data Systems
States Using the Source of Payment Typology
• Georgia – 2007
• Oregon – 2008
• New York – 2009

IMPLEMENTATION II:Quality eMeasures
Supplemental Data Elements in eMeasures Include Payer
• Supplemental data elements are included in quality emeasures– To aggregate data to various subgroups– To compare quality across subgroups to
identify disparities
24
CMS and National Quality Forum Use Typology as the Value Set for "Payer"
• CMS 2014 Meaningful Use Clinical Quality Measures (CQM) require 4 supplemental data: sex, race, ethnicity, payer
• NQF Measure Authoring Tool for emeasures includes "payer" as default supplemental data
• National Library of Medicine includes Typology in Value Set Authority Center for 2014 CQM
– Raised the issue of "intellectual property" for PHDSC Board 25

ACTIVITIES OVER THE
COMING YEAR
Maintenance Activities
• Annual maintenance meeting in spring– opportunity for public comments and requests
• Typology categories and / or definitions updated every October (as needed)
• Periodic Subcommittee conference call discussions of impact of insurance system changes on needed payer categories (e.g. from ACA)
Education/Outreach
• Webinars, conference presentations, emails to target audiences– e.g., Webinar Nov 19
• Identify & take advantage of opportunities that arise– e.g., this year- PHDSC letter comments on
the proposed Federal rule on the health plan ID recommended the Typology be included in the CMS registry for the plan ID
