L2: Completeness and plausibility

No placeholder values in price or payer fields

Warning · HPT-L2-014

Values like 999999999, 'N/A', or an empty payer name are common placeholders hospitals leave in when a real number wasn't ready. They pass schema validation but carry no real pricing information.

52629 rows contain a placeholder value instead of real data.

Citation: CMS Hospital Price Transparency FAQ, data completeness guidance

Remediation: Replace placeholder values with the real negotiated rate, or omit the row if the rate genuinely doesn't exist for that payer/plan.

Affects 52,629 row(s).
