Data Collection Rules
These resources provide more information for people interested in learning about how different states define the rules for what can and should be collected in an all-payer claims database. States currently define those rules differently, but work is underway to harmonize those rules. For more information about the work being done to harmonize the rules for data collection, please send an email to amy.costello@unh.edu
