Source inventory
Every release retains its publisher, source location, publication period, retrieval time, immutable artifact or manifest, parsing status, quality checks, and promotion state.
Data and methodology
Know what the evidence says - and what it does not.
Healthdex separates source observations, governed entities and relationships, and decision-specific analysis so every conclusion can be inspected.
Public coverage disclosure
Coverage is release-specific, not implied.
Updated October 3, 2026. The authenticated catalog contains exact publication, retrieval, approval, and freshness details for each governed release.
| Source class | Current governed state | Geography | Provider / payer scope | Freshness disclosure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CMS provider and public quality | Active pilot evidence | Cleveland demonstration context; source releases may be broader | Facilities and clinicians represented by the approved release | Exact source period and retrieval date shown in catalog |
| Hospital machine-readable files | 19 approved and published Kentucky facility refreshes; illustrative Cleveland sample | Kentucky production rollout plus scoped demonstration evidence | Facility, payer, plan, code, and rate observations available only where published and approved | 19 exact manifests reconciled October 3, 2026 |
| HCRIS, utilization, geography, area-level need | Available in governed pilot workflows | Depends on source release and selected market | Facility or area-level aggregate evidence | Period and retrieval date retained per release |
| ACA Exchange and Form 5500 | Schema and workflow deployed; projections intentionally empty | No active public coverage claim | No promoted payer, plan, or employer release yet | Awaiting first acquisition, approval, and promotion |
| Regional contract evidence | Supported for approved aggregate sources; no active release claimed | Customer- and release-specific | Only approved non-PHI aggregate evidence | Freshness begins when an approved release is promoted |
Entity resolution
NPI, CCN, PAC ID, legal names, addresses, and source-specific identifiers are treated as evidence. Mapping to a durable entity never erases the source record.
Relationship confidence
Affiliations are effective-dated and preserve their supporting source and review state. They are not automatically interpreted as employment, privileges, referral behavior, service capability, or network participation.
Rate comparability
Payer, plan, code, description, billing setting, rate type, and inclusion rules remain visible. Published negotiated-rate observations are not final allowed amounts, total episode cost, or member liability.
Claims boundary
Area-level need is not individual risk. Public facility quality is not surgeon- or procedure-specific unless the underlying measure supports that conclusion. Missing evidence stays unresolved instead of being silently imputed.
