Coverage and methodology
Source claims come from clearinghouse and pharmacy switch partners and are de-identified before Willowbrook receives them. An independent statistician certifies the aggregates under HIPAA's expert determination method, and the certification is renewed annually. Willowbrook never delivers patient-level or encounter-level records, and no tokens or linkage keys are included. Every cell is an aggregate of at least 11 patients; smaller cells are suppressed and flagged, and complementary suppression prevents back-calculation. The aggregates represent a large share of US commercial, Medicare Advantage and managed Medicaid claims but are not a complete census; coverage notes by state and payer channel are delivered with each release. Buyers must agree not to attempt re-identification.
