Seven health payers in Colorado are joining forces to develop a multi-payer data sharing online tool to improve healthcare delivery in the state.

Under the arrangement, the payers are creating a data solution that allows care providers to access their patients’ claims data from one website. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Cigna, Colorado Access, Colorado Choice Health Plans, Colorado Medicaid/Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, Rocky Mountain Health Plans and United Healthcare are all participating in the endeavor.

“This initiative represents a major step forward for both providers and payers in the state. For the first time, physicians will be able to access actionable, patient-specific data across multiple insurers and self-funding employers in a single analytic tool,”said Patrick Gordon, associate vice president at Rocky Mountain Health Plans, in a statement.
