Hello,
I'm trying to count six continuous eligible months or more in one calender year for a particular recepient in health insurance industry. For example, please find the sample data below:
Member_ID Begin_Month Begin_Year End_Month End_Year
1 3 2008 4 2008
1 5 2008 8 2008
1 9 2008 11 2008
2 1 2008 2 2008
2 5 2008 12 2009
I'm trying to see if a member is eligible for a continuous period of six months during that particular year. The original data set has over 80,000 Member ID's. Could you please help me out with any suggestions.
Thank you.
What do you mean by " is eligible for a continuous period of six months during that particular year." ?
How do you define continuous period of six months? it is for an individual row or Member_ID ?
And you did not post the output you want to see yet , it is important .
