To understand the full spectrum of care a VA patient receives, studies may look to include state All-Payer Claims Data (APCD), which contain claims from public and private insurance. APCD may contain vital information, as many younger Veterans use private healthcare in addition to their VA-provided care. When combined with data from VA-provided care, VA-purchased care, and CMS care, researchers can have a nearly complete picture of Veteran health care use. To learn more about data availability by state, challenges to obtaining and using state healthcare claims data, and tips to improve efficiency, visit the full page on the VA intranet (https://vaww.herc.research.va.gov/include/page.asp?id=state-data).
