L2: Completeness and plausibility

Attestation block is present with a named signing official

Blocker · HPT-L2-030

The file must encode the CMS attestation statement, an explicit confirmation flag, and the name of the CEO, president, or other senior official affirming the data is true, accurate, and complete. A missing or blank attester name means no one is actually attesting to this file.

Missing: attester name.

Citation: CY2026 OPPS final rule, 45 CFR 180.50(b)(1)(vii) — attestation requirement effective Jan 1 2026, enforced Apr 1 2026

Remediation: Add the CMS attestation statement, set confirm_attestation to true, and fill in attester_name with the signing official's full name.

Type 2 organizational NPIs pass checksum validation

Blocker · HPT-L2-040

Every Type 2 NPI encoded in the file must be a structurally valid 10-digit National Provider Identifier (the check digit must match). A malformed NPI can't be verified against NPPES and breaks any downstream taxonomy-based lookup.

No Type 2 NPI is encoded in the file (required from January 1, 2026).

Citation: CY2026 OPPS final rule — Type 2 NPI requirement for taxonomy codes beginning '27'/'28'

Remediation: Correct the Type 2 NPI to the organization's real, currently-active NPI as registered with NPPES.

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.

102331 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 102,331 row(s).
