Thanks for submitting this @mickohanlon23 !

For context, this module was developed a few years ago and data based on this module was published at https://confluence.hl7.org/display/COD/mCODE+Test+Data .
If we want to make changes I don't expect Mick to have bandwidth to make them himself. Hopefully we think this is great and it needs no changes. If we want any changes we will likely have to take this and run with it ourselves, or potentially put it into an "experimental modules" folder
