NPI number search on network-rates file.

Steps:

1. Retrieve compressed-datasource file via wget. around 2-5 mins.
2. Expand/uncompressed datasource file via gunzip. around 10-20 mins.
3. Search for npi number on datasource file via fgrep. around 5 mins maximum.

Example Steps.

1. Retrieve compressed-datasource file (3.5 G) via wget.

wget https://uhc-tic-mrf.azureedge.net/public-mrf/2022-10-01/2022-10-01_UnitedHealthcare-of-Washington--Inc-_Insurer_PS1-63_A3_in-network-rates.json.gz

2. Expand/uncompressed datasource file via gunzip (from 3.5 G to 112 G).

gunzip 2022-10-01_UnitedHealthcare-of-Washington--Inc-_Insurer_PS1-63_A3_in-network-rates.json.gz

3. Search for npi number on datasource file via fgrep

I. Usage:

fgrep -l 'XXX,' filename
fgrep -l '[XXX' filename

XXX - npi number.
filename - example 2022-10-01_UnitedHealthcare-of-Washington--Inc-_Insurer_PS1-63_A3_in-network-rates.json

IIa. NPI number found, then filename is repeated.

Example:
chriscalip@raptor:~/workspaces/ths$ fgrep -l '1467758912,' 2022-10-01_UnitedHealthcare-of-Washington--Inc-_Insurer_PS1-63_A3_in-network-rates.json
2022-10-01_UnitedHealthcare-of-Washington--Inc-_Insurer_PS1-63_A3_in-network-rates.json

IIb. NPI number not found, then output is NULL/empty.

Example:
chriscalip@raptor:~/workspaces/ths$ fgrep -l '1467758999,' 2022-10-01_UnitedHealthcare-of-Washington--Inc-_Insurer_PS1-63_A3_in-network-rates.json
