APCD data is confidential and exempt from Virginia FOIA. A data release committee must approve access, with releases limited to aggregate counts over 10, de‑identified data, or limited data sets. Public releases use a masked proxy for reimbursements; only limited, approved reports may use actual am… - Free APCD data for state agencies: benefit, medium. The nonprofit, the Department of Health, the Department of Medical Assistance Services, and the Bureau of Insurance get free access to APCD data.

The law creates a statewide All-Payer Claims Database. Insurers and third-party administrators with at least 1,000 covered Virginia lives must report paid claims. Medicaid (DMAS) and state and local plans report, and federal plans report as allowed by law. ERISA plans report only when an employer o… - No APCD fees on practitioners: benefit, low.

If a private data supplier misses a reporting deadline and does not make a good‑faith effort after written notice, the Board can fine them. The nonprofit must give written notice first.

Employers may opt out with written notice at least 30 days before the next reporting peri… - Plan funding to sustain the APCD: mixed, medium. The Commissioner and the nonprofit board must make short‑ and long‑term plans to fund APCD operations beyond state appropriations. The law does not provide money or set new fees.
