Compare Health Care Cost and Quality Based on Delaware Medical and Pharmacy Claims

Delaware’s CostAware website helps Delawareans understand how their health care dollars are spent by comparing the variation of average costs for different episodes of care and medical services based on actual medical claims in Delaware. Each year, the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) and the Delaware Health Care Commission work with the Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN) to analyze health care cost and quality based on claims submitted by hospitals and accountable care organizations. The CostAware website shares health care information from Delaware’s Health Care Claims Database.

Historical CostAware reports can always be accessed via DHIN’s public analytics portal

CostAware’s most recent release (September 2025) adds full calendar‑year 2023 data for commercial insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare, along with an improved report that analyzes brand versus generic prescription drug costs by drug class and payer type.
