Hello DPC Community,

We recently found and fixed a problem that had caused us to send out some slightly incomplete data. Between 2022-04-18 and earlier today, 2022-04-27, this issue caused the Revenue Center NDC Quantity field for SNF claims to have less precision (i.e. decimal places) than they should have. For instance, if the complete value for Revenue Center NDC Quantity was "1.234" then it would have been provided as just "1". Here is an example JSON snippet of such truncated data:

"item" : [ {
"extension" : [ {
    "url" : " https://bluebutton.cms.gov/resources/variables/rev_cntr_ndc_qty",
    "valueQuantity" : {
      "value" : 1,
      "system" : " https://bluebutton.cms.gov/resources/variables/rev_cntr_ndc_qty_qlfr_cd",
      "code" : "GG"
    }
} ...

Again, this issue was fixed earlier today. You may wish to adjust the _since and/or _lastUpdated query parameters for your next data queries, to ensure that you re-receive any data that you queried between 2022-04-18 and earlier today, 2022-04-27. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.
