Pew Seeks Regulatory Changes on Claims Data in Senate Panel’s Health Care Bill

The letter calls for expanding access to insurance claims data, adding a field for medical device identifiers to the claims form submitted to insurers, and supporting a single technical standard for the use of application programming interfaces to share patient data electronically.
