An overview of the HCCD

How the HCCD is Making Health Data More Useful

The Delaware Health Care Claims Database collects healthcare claims, enrollment and provider data from Medicare, Medicaid and commercial health insurers in the State of Delaware.

The Delaware General Assembly passed legislation in FY16 authorizing the Delaware Health Information Network to develop a healthcare claims database.

§ 10311 The Delaware Health Care Claims Database — Findings; purpose; creation (delaware.gov)

The purpose of the HCCD is to facilitate data-driven, evidence-based improvements in access, quality, and cost of healthcare and to promote and improve the public health through increased transparency of accurate claims data and information.

The next update is planned for May 2027.
