v2.3.0 Release Notes [WIP - tentative]

• Provider Types:
  • Infusion Center Spines
  • Lab Spines
• Add CAR-T DRGs
  • Sam to create plausibility table which we will load into Spines
  • Applies to PLA codes too
• Exchange plans
  • Amerihealth
• Other national exchange plans for large payers (tbd from Sitara/Sam)

v2.2.2 Release Notes

• Labs
  • Guardant rates are now available for all payers
  • Implemented lab-specific accuracy scoring methodology
• More Hospital MRF Rates:
  • Include rates for Providers Posting HCPCS as Inpatient. This adds 260 more providers with OP hospital rates.
  • Include rates for Providers ALWAYS Posting DRGs w/ Rev Codes. Previously, we only included rates with NULL Rev Codes. Affects just a handful of providers, but important ones!
• New Payers:
  • Added SummaCare
• Misc:
  • Always populate medicare_rate in prod tables
  • Remove "capitation" negotiation_arranagment from payer MRF data pulls (only happens 0.02% of the time, but on average these rates are 7x higher than ffs rates)
  • Validated Rates tiebreaker fix: in v2.2.0 we started selecting the highest rate. This introduced problems where a hospital PoC and payer PoC validated each other, because then the highest GC would be used (even if it were a state-average when a hospital-reported GC is available). Now, in this case, we rely on the hierarchy of GC sources to break ties.

v2.2.1 Release Notes

• Tables are in tq_production!
• Accuracy :
  • Validated rates: select the higher rate as the canonical rate
  • Anesthesia rates: always prioritize normalized over raw (@Stefano DiSano)
• Life Sciences:
  • Add NDC to Drug Code Crosswalk for Hospital rates with an NDC but NULL billing code (ty @Monika Malhotra for PRs!)
• Employer:
  • A Network Check version of CLD enhanced w/ extra imputation tiers
• Medicare:
  • Update to Fixed Medicare Reference Data Tables (we had been using static ones)
  • Lab Medicare Fee Schedule for Physician Groups (@Sam Jones)

v2.2.0 Release Notes

• Highlights:
  • Analyze: features for next week's lab template demos
  • Adds is_lab_code indicator
  • Adds medicare reference pricing for the new lab codes
• Spines:
  • We built Physician Group Spines and Clear Rates is now using it (s/o @Nick Pattison for the design and architecture, it's quite a technical marvel he cooked up!). This will help to boost coverage and improve rates for Employer Network Check reports and add more PGs for Analyze.
• Market Solutions:
  • Two New Drug Dosage Standardization Methods (s/o @Monika Malhotra for the research and PRs to add these net new transformations to the Clear Rates codebase!)
  • Uses new unit/quantity fields in Hospital MRF data to dosage standardize
  • Uses NDC field from Hospital MRF data + strength/strength_unit from Medispan to dosage standardize
