about claims_codes_hs_300.txt.gz

[jingjojo]

Hi,

I am confused about the codes in the IDX_IPR_C_N_L_month_ALL_MEMBERS_fold1_s300_w20_ss5_hs_thr12.txt file inside claims_codes_hs_300.txt.gz. Do they refer to icd-9 codes? But when I tried to find a particular icd-9 code in there, it didn't match.

Thanks.

very late but looking into the code all the ICD9 codes are the lines that start with IDX_ then its the code, you might have also seen the period removed in the data so
IDX_250.70 which is diabetes
is sometimes seen as
25070
