Collect health insurance and medical data in state database

Introduced in the Senate

Oct. 28, 2015

Introduced by Sen. Jim Marleau (R-12)

To require the Department of Community Health to create a statewide database within one year that collects and aggregates specified data from health insurance companies, doctors and hospitals on all health care given to patients, including details on cost and who paid. The database itself would not include the identities of individuals, but would contain “identifiers” that could connect the data to names held by third party data collectors approved by the state.
