L2: Completeness and plausibility

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.

3 Type 2 NPI(s) fail checksum validation: 273R00000X, 282E00000X, 282N00000X.

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.

File has a plausible amount of charge and payer coverage

Info · HPT-L2-060

A hospital MRF with only a handful of line items or a single payer is very unlikely to represent the hospital's full standard charge list, even if the file otherwise validates cleanly.

File looks thin: only 0 line item(s).

Citation: CMS Hospital Price Transparency FAQ, completeness guidance

Remediation: Confirm the file actually contains the hospital's complete chargemaster and all contracted payers, not a partial export.
