The APCD Council supports the people who build, run, and use all-payer claims databases (APCDs) by sharing what states have learned.
Since 2007, the APCD Council has brought together states, researchers, and partners working on APCDs. Our online resources make that shared knowledge available to the whole APCD community: a plain-language introduction to claims data, research and guides on building and using APCDs, webinars on current topics, and answers to the questions we hear most often. Beyond these resources, the Council convenes peer learning among state APCD leaders and maintains the APCD Common Data Layout (APCD-CDL™).
