Healthcare Payments Data Snapshot

This dataset contains data for the Healthcare Payments Data (HPD) Snapshot visualization. The Enrollment data file contains counts of claims and encounter data collected for California's statewide HPD Program. It includes counts of enrollment records, service records from medical and pharmacy claims, and the number of individuals represented across these records. Aggregate counts are grouped by payer type (Commercial, Medi-Cal, or Medicare), product type, and year. The Medical data file contains counts of medical procedures from medical claims and encounter data in HPD. Procedures are categorized using claim line procedure codes and grouped by year, type of setting (e.g., outpatient, laboratory, ambulance), and payer type. The Pharmacy data file contains counts of drug prescriptions from pharmacy claims and encounter data in HPD. Prescriptions are categorized by name and drug class using the reported National Drug Code (NDC) and grouped by year, payer type, and whether the drug dispensed is branded or a generic.
