See the attached file for a dictionary with some historic MA normalization factors and the implementation of said factors - in the profile method.
The MA coding pattern has not yet changed over time, so it is a simple constant for now.
However, CMS can change this value whenever they deem it appropriate.
The current value of 5.9% is the minimum value permitted.
Despite the build-out of some code for ESRD in that attached file, this portion is very much a work in progress.
@ronnie-canopy thanks so much. It was extremely helpful. I modified the script for backward compatibility and extensibility. Please check the latest master branch. Best,
