New BCDA website launch

[Beneficiary Claims Data API (BCDA) Community]

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new BCDA.cms.gov! Based on user research, testing, and your feedback, the new site:

• Makes it easier to find documentation and access claims data
• Clearly outlines the process to obtain production access
• Provides helpful context on use cases for eligible health care organizations
• Highlights tips and troubleshooting suggestions

How do I use the new BCDA website?

The new site offers 5 main pages (as shown on the navigation menu) and links to additional resources:

About (new)
Review BCDA's goals, data types, and data availability timelines.

API Documentation
Learn about endpoints, parameters, and how to filter claims data. Get instructions on obtaining a bearer token to access the sandbox and production claims data.

BCDA Data (formerly Understanding the Data)
Learn about BCDA data via the Data Dictionary, sample files, and comparisons to Claim and Claim Line Feed (CCLF) files. Understand partially vs. fully adjudicated claims data.

Production Access (formerly part of Building Your Application)
Review the steps you’ll follow to authorize your organization and get production credentials.

Support (new)
Review answers to common questions and contact the BCDA team for help.

Questions or feedback about the site? We'd love to hear them! Thanks for everything you've done to make BCDA a valuable resource for Medicare beneficiaries.

Sounds great. Unfortunately, this is what my browser (Edge) returned.

Hi Jack,

Thanks for testing out the new site so quickly! Looks like we hit a snag getting the redirects correctly configured for our new site. We're working on resolving this issue and will update once the site is back up and running.

Best,
The BCDA Team
