        ## Features
        
        Provides the class `MedicareDF`. This class contains some canned scripts to make common tasks easier. It currently contains two functions:
        - `get_cohort()`, which uses the beneficiary summary file to find a set of medicare beneficiaries according to options given to the function.
        - `search_for_codes()`, which searches for HCPCS, ICD-9 diagnosis, and/or ICD-9 procedure codes in a given type of file.
        
        ## Installation
        
        Install the package with:
        ```
        pip install git+https://github.com/kylebarron/medicare_utils --upgrade
        ```
        
        ## Usage
        
        The class is initialized with
        ```py
        import medicare_utils as med
        mdf = med.MedicareDF('05', range(2010, 2013))
        mdf.get_cohort(gender='female', ages=range(65, 75))
        mdf.search_for_codes(2010, 'med', icd9_diag='41071')
        ```
        
        It has attributes that refer to different levels of the data, when applicable:
        - `mdf.pl`: patient-level data. Here the index of the data is `bene_id` for data post-2005, or `ehic` for data pre-2005.
        - `mdf.cl`: claim-level data.
