Hello!

We are trying to figure out how to get an accurate Prescription frequency for ExplanationOfBenefits items for PDE type. We have the following fields:
fill_num

days_supply

quantity (in respect to the actual drug quantity per fill)

In the bluebutton application/wesbite itself, we've seen a data element titled "Frequency" with the value of "FREQUENCY_30_DAYS" for each drug.

How could we get something similar from the data available?

And yes, I have looked through https://bluebutton.cms.gov/assets/ig/StructureDefinition-bluebutton-pde-claim.html
but have not found something usable in this case.
