L1: Schema conformance

Methodology is present whenever a negotiated rate is present

Blocker · HPT-L1-005

Any row with a negotiated_dollar, negotiated_percentage, or negotiated_algorithm value must also state the methodology used to derive it (case rate, fee schedule, percent of total billed charges, etc.).

166 rows have a negotiated rate but no methodology.

Citation: CMS v3.0.0 CSV/JSON data dictionary, standard_charges.methodology (required when negotiated fields present)

Remediation: Populate standard_charge|methodology for every row that has a negotiated dollar, percentage, or algorithm value.

Affects 166 row(s).

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.

38896 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 38,896 row(s).
