Tables in the METL database.

📄️ icd_procedure_hierarchy_title_lookup

Stores the titles used to describe each of the hierarchy levels, which vary depending on the section code (hierarchy level 1). For example in 'Medical and Surgical procedures' the letters of the procedure describe the 'section', 'body system', 'operation', etc. but for 'Physical Rehabilitation and Diagnostic Audiology', the letters of the procedure describe the 'section', 'section qualifier', 'type', etc. This table makes it possible to correctly build a ICD-procedure drill-down UI.

📄️ pecos_associate

Information about PECOS associates. For most enrollment scenarios, the PAC ID maps to a unique SSN for individual providers and an EIN for organizational providers, with a few rare exceptions such as sole proprietors. A provider may enroll multiple times, under different enrollment scenarios. One common example is when a provider enrolls in multiple states to bill to Medicare in multiple states. For each enrollment, an enrollment ID is issued and associated with the PAC ID.
