Topic: Synthea for payer IGs

Hello! Please redirect me if I'm posting in the wrong stream/topic.
Re: CMS/ONC interoperability and the various payer IGs (e.g. CARIN, PDEX, etc).
Can Synthea produce data compatible with any of the payer IGs?
I want to set up a sandbox environment populated with synthetic data that conforms to these IGs.
I did find this: https://github.com/synthetichealth/synthea/wiki/Payer-Data but that doesn't quite get me there.
Thanks!

Thanks for redirecting, @Lloyd McKenzie!

I’m not familiar with any payer customizations for the specified use case but you can definitely modify them in Synthea. See the Other Areas-section of the Wiki.

Thanks, @Richard Stanley. That is the section I linked to.
I suppose what I don't understand is how to get Synthea to populate coded values appropriately where the binding strength is required. I've only ever used Synthea to support very general cases; nothing so specific before.

That’s above my skill level. Maybe create an issue in their GitHub repo?
Diederik Muylwyk (Apr 30 2021 at 19:13):
Will do, and investigate further. It's possible this is a use case that's not presently supported yet.
Thanks again!
