HealthCare.gov is the consumer facing site releasing more data - with the insurance finder. Over 1,000 insurance companies are accessible. Developers will want to look at HealthData.gov. There will be an API for the Insurer data. Expect a flood of Insurance comparison sites. West Wireless Health will sponsor providing Fellows to support HHS in identifying innovative data that can be released. Health Data Affiliates in WA, OH, MA, LA and CO that will promote health data initiatives in their states. Great to see this commitment to improved access to data. This means moving to realtime APIs rather than fixed, static downloads.
