The CMS Hierarchical Condition Categories are created by applying a series of
rules to the Condition Categories (CC) These rules were obtained from CMS
Medicare Risk Adjustors. Due to the complex file structure of the original
data (many nested zip files), they have been organized manually in the folder
data/icd_hcc_rawdata/hierarchy
.
icd_parse_cc_hierarchy(save_data = FALSE)
logical whether to save the result in the source tree.
Defaults to FALSE
.
Deprecated. The map is not condensed by default. If required,

This function creates an .RData
file containing rules for converting
CCs to HCC
