Equity impact statement The program does not interact with individuals, providers or community groups. The All Payer All Claims program does not establish eligibility for coverage, determine services to be provided or establish the cost or payment for any services. The program receives administrative data from insurers, third party administrators, pharmacy benefit managers and other insurer-types on services provided including to whom, service, service provider, billed amount and paid amount. The program continues to work with the Equity and Inclusion Division for guidance on how to work with community groups to determine the best way to acknowledge and document the structural racism underlying data received to mitigate propagating inequities in the guise of quantitative unbiased data. 20 20 20 20 20
