Synthetic account require password change

[Ron Jawanda]

The accounts BBUser00000 to BBuser09999

The account i have tried 09010 and many others that indicate a password change is required. 

Also, trying to find docs for these accounts that show what types of resources.

ie: for example i am trying to find one that has CVX codes

Thank you to anyone who replies.

Hi Ron -
Thank you for your question. At this time, we do not support CVX codes, so this would not be available in our synthetic data. To see the data that is supported by the Blue Button API, please view our data dictionary. 

With regard to the password change being required for some of the synthetic users- thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will raise this with the team at CMS that owns this.

Best,

How do you know what ID matches what account?

ie: Element Id =1 says R4 what account does this match to?

[Ron Jawanda]

I think i phrased this wrong.

I am trying to use the Synthetic accounts

Example BBUser09999. I am wondering if there is a spreadsheet that tells me what resourceTypes the account has in the EOB

example: "resource": {
        "resourceType": "ExplanationOfBenefit",
        "id": "carrier--10348377281",

or what other types.

thank you

Hi Ron,

We do not maintain a table that explicitly maps each synthetic account with particular data fields.  As stated earlier, the data dictionary does list the data supported, and our API documentation lists the table of each of the synthetic users and the types of information in BBuser00000 - BBuser09999 vs. BBUser10000.

If there is a particular resource type you are looking for, we could work with you to identify synthetic user(s) that contain the appropriate information.

Allergies and Immunizations.

Thank you so much.

sorry for the late response

Hi Ron,
Unfortunately we do not have a listing of all synthetic claims available for each user. We do however have a CSV file that outlines the types of claims available for each synthetic user at: https://bluebutton.cms.gov/assets/files/synthetic_users_by_claim_count_full.csv

And to clarify, we do not support derived data such as immunizations or allergy lists in our API. In some cases, an app could extract some of this information, but it would have to be done via the EOB.

thank you.

Is there any word on why many of the synthetic accounts are asking for a password change? I'm trying to log in using user accounts that match claim types in the https://bluebutton.cms.gov/assets/files/synthetic_users_by_claim_count_full.csv document but so far each one is asking for a password change.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

The synthetic user accounts occasionally require a password reset, and while we work to make these changes regularly, you ran across users that we have not yet cycled. In general, the first ~20 users are used regularly and do not encounter these inactivity timeouts as often.

If there are specific users that you are looking for, please let us know, and we can make sure to update those for you.

Thanks,
The Blue Button Team

Thanks! I'd love to test with these accounts. They have the most inpatient claim and line counts.

Hello - 

The test accounts on this thread have been reset and are ready to use. Note that some 10001 test accounts may still prompt for a password reset or have incorrect passwords. Please reach out if you're locked out of any accounts you need for testing.
