How Flexpa Compares to Other Healthcare Data Access Methods

Patient‑Consented Claims + Clinical Data

Healthcare data access has evolved significantly, with various methods emerging to help organizations retrieve patient information. There are numerous vendors with different subspecialties and the right vendor depends on your specific needs. We're here to help you navigate that landscape.

Flexpa retrieves patient‑consented, identified claims and clinical data from the following sources:

1. TEFCA IAS - This is a national network of 41,000 unique connections that exposes USDCI data. Once a member connects, we can pull records from any facility that is on the network. This includes all Epic, Cerner, and Athena-powered facilities and includes detailed medical documents, lab results, observations, etc.


2. EHR APIs - Every ONC certified EHR produces a patient access API, this network is addressable to every (compliant) facility in the country. For any facilities outside of TEFCA, we use these individual API connections.


3. Payer APIs - Every payer that serves Medicare and Medicaid populations are required to produce a patient access API. This provides a timeline of the most critical patient medical history (diagnosis, procedures, medications, encounters, etc) and financial adjudication. We cover all compliant payers across all Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial lines of business.
