Data-powered insights

COVID-19 test and trend reporting

In response to the systemic growth of COVID-19, HealthVerity has developed near-real-time reports and data packages to track the progress of the disease and monitor general healthcare utilization trends. Discover deeper insights into the wave of patients infected with COVID-19 and understand the serious impacts on non-infected patients whose habits have shifted as a result.

Multi-year Research Collaboration with the FDA

HealthVerity has signed a multi-year Research Collaboration Agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to evaluate a range of different real-world datasets for their potential to inform FDA’s response to COVID-19.

“The more detail we can obtain around how COVID-19 affects different patient populations, the faster a potential treatment for coronavirus can become a reality. Developing the expertise needed to apply diverse, real-world datasets to these issues is an essential step in this direction.”

COVID-19_98

HVPCI reports positive swing to patient confidence as the year comes to a close

This period’s national score of 98 tells two distinct stories: one of positive return to acute and chronic care by patients in the US and one that showcases a steady increase in infectious disease, where an uptick in visits is no longer a positive.

Near-real-time reports

HealthVerity has teamed up with key data partners to introduce a series of near-real-time reports and data packages that offer actionable insights on the impact of this global pandemic.

Frequently asked questions

What are these reports used for?

HealthVerity has developed a data package in response to the systemic growth of COVID-19 cases in early 2020. The key features of the package not only track the progress of the disease and related symptoms, but also offer general healthcare utilization trends. We can provide deeper insights around (1) physicians administering in-office treatments whose patients could be transitioned to a self-administered option and (2) lab testing for COVID-19 including results and ordering physician.

What is a rollup file?

HealthVerity will utilize the raw medical claims data to calculate the unique number of patients across all combinations of patient zip, patient age, specialty, group and code. We calculate aggregate totals because patients can exist across multiple levels. For example, a patient may have a diagnosis for COVID-19 and also a diagnosis for cough, so we create an extra row of data where the group field is ’0Total’ and the patient is counted only once. Customers should not sum the patient column in the deliverable.

Are the COVID-19 diagnosis codes confirmed cases?

Yes. CDC has instructed the healthcare community to only report the coronavirus diagnosis codes when the patient has been confirmed or presumed positive. (CDC coding guidelines)

Do you see telehealth and who is performing it?

Yes. There is a place of service code as well as procedure codes which indicate when care was provided to the patient over the phone or online.

How current is your report?

Our surveillance report includes medical claims data submitted by physicians to payers through the prior day. The actual date of service, the day the visit took place, will be on or prior to that time.

What coverage does Quest have of the COVID-19 market?

Across all lab providers, HealthVerity believes that it is seeing roughly 50% of all COVID-19 tests in the US.

What differentiates coronavirus from today’s pandemic COVID-19? 

Coronavirus has existed as a billable ICD-10 code since 2016; specifically diagnosis codes B97.29 and B34.2. The WHO released a new ICD-10 code specific to COVID-19 and the code is being adopted by the CDC as of April 1, 2020 (CDC Coding). Prior to April 1, 2020, all COVID-19 related billing reported one of the B-codes noted above (CDC Interim Coding).

“The traditional model for planning out research has been upended. COVID-19 has led to new real-world evidence research that focuses on the impact on non-infected patients who stay home because of the virus. We are now seeing a reshaping of research priorities to account for those rapid changes in patient behavior.”
