Share Your Data With a Third Party

Making Your Health Information Available

Federal law requires BCBSIL to provide current members who have Medicare, Medicaid and plans purchased through the Health Care Marketplace with access to certain Personal Information through Apps of their choice using the Patient Access Process. The federal law also requires that members can make their Personal Information available to another health plan or payer of the member's choice using the Payer to Payer Data Exchange. We do this by allowing apps or other health plans or payers to connect to an application programming interface (API) we maintain.

Learn more about sharing your data.

The Personal Information that may be available through the API includes:

• Your name, address, date of birth, amounts paid to providers, claims information, as well as other Personal Information
• Your clinical information, which may include diagnoses and medical treatments, including treatment for substance use disorders, mental health treatment, HIV status, or other sensitive Personal Information.

Third-party app developers and other health plans or payers can connect to our API. Esto permitirá el acceso a su información personal. This means you, the other heath plan or payer, and App developers can see your information. As a current BCBSXX member, or someone who has authorization to a member's Personal Information, you may decide to download an app to your smart phone, tablet, computer or other similar device. La decisión depende de usted.

If you choose to use an app to access your Personal Information through the Patient Access Process or make your Personal Information available through the Payer to Payer Data Exchange, you will be required to sign a Member Consent. You can sign a Member Consent using the Member Consent Portal. Esto nos autorizará a completar su solicitud y hacer que su información personal esté disponible. Si no firma el consentimiento del asegurado, no podemos hacer que la información personal esté disponible.

If you choose to share your Personal Information, you can also manage your consent by using the Member Consent Portal.

If you would like to bring your data from a prior payer with you to BCBSIL, you can do so by accessing the Payer Data Exchange Portal.
