The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is inviting nominations for the State All Payer Claims Databases Advisory Committee. This committee, established under the No Surprises Act, will advise on creating a standard format for states to voluntarily report various health-related claims information. The committee will consist of 15 members with expertise in health services, data privacy, and related fields, appointed by the Secretary of Labor and the Comptroller General. Nominations should be submitted by January 27, 2021, and will be effective in March 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Government needs some special helpers to figure out how to share important health information in a simple and safe way. They're asking for people who know a lot about health to join a team and share their ideas.
