A new digital front door to health data is opening for millions of Americans.

‍

Medicare beneficiaries can now connect to a growing ecosystem of consumer apps to see and use their health data in new ways. These tools help patients understand medications, manage conditions, and coordinate care. 

‍

The digital healthcare ecosystem continues to expand, increasing concerns over how patient access remains secure—and that’s where CLEAR comes in. Nearly every solution in the Medicare App Library has integrated CLEAR as an identity partner, reflecting trust in a verification process that is proven to enhance security, minimize friction, and put patients first.

 Why Medicare Apps are Choosing CLEAR

‍

The Medicare App Library consists of a curated set of applications that connect to clinical data through CMS‑aligned networks. While many participating apps are not HIPAA-covered entities, CMS has set a higher bar for apps with third party validation on privacy and security requirements. As part of the Medicare App Library infrastructure, participants are required to implement a consistent, trusted way to verify individuals. CLEAR provides that foundation, helping healthcare teams confirm that health data is accessed safely and securely.

‍

As an IAL2/AAL2‑certified identity provider, CLEAR meets rigorous federal standards for identity verification. CLEAR also aligns with the CARIN Code of Conduct, supporting voluntary but enforceable standards for privacy, transparency, and accountability. Given the highly sensitive nature of patient data, CLEAR supports partners in upholding a new standard in user control.

CLEAR Puts the Patient First

‍

CLEAR’s role in the Medicare App Library is simple but critical: working to confirm that the right person has access to the right records in a way that is safe, secure, and easy to use. Through verification of a high-assurance identity, CLEAR removes the burden of disparate logins and extra credentials without compromising security.

‍

That same trusted identity also extends across a wide ecosystem of healthcare apps—making it easier for individuals to recover accounts, access their medical records, and move between services seamlessly without repeated steps.

‍

In addition, part of the CMS technology mission is to make identity interoperable so that patients can securely access their records across providers, platforms, and applications. CLEAR helps make that possible, giving patients control of their health data wherever they go with a reusable identity.

‍

The CLEAR Trustmark

‍

Within the Medicare App Library, CLEAR functions as a trustmark, signaling that privacy, security, and user control are built into every experience. With more than 16 years of experience operating in airports—one of the most highly regulated environments—CLEAR has developed its technology and experiences to set the benchmark for privacy and security. When patients see CLEAR, they can trust that their identity and data are always protected. 

‍

Building a Safer, More Connected Future 

‍

As The Medicare App Library expands to give people a safer, simpler way to access the care and information they deserve—CLEAR’s focus remains consistent: strengthen high-assurance identity, advance privacy-first data integrity, and partner across the ecosystem to keep patients at the center of care. CLEAR is the patient-first identity solution that makes it all possible.
