BFD exporter issue

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Hi @hadleynet, I just tried to follow your instructions (see referenced issue below) and am running into an error with the following .csv files:
external_codes.csv
hha_pps_case_mix_codes.csv
hha_pps_pdgm_codes.csv

my goal is to generate this missing_codes.csv to build the mapping files. Can I get some help figuring out the structure for these files so that I can bypass this error?

I'm interested in using the BFD export option to get output that looks like Medicare's Synthetic RIF files.

I was hoping it'd be as easy as just setting line 60 of the synthea.properties file to True, but it looks like I need to provide a bunch of code maps in .json format (eg "export/drg_code_map.json" and "export/hcpcs_code_map.json").

Am I right in guessing that you do not provide these because of licensing issues? If we can get our own licenses, would we be able to request these files or create them ourselves? What is the general format and content of these code map files?
