L1: Schema conformance
Required fields present on every line item
Blocker · HPT-L1-001Every standard charge line item must include a description, at least one billing code and code type, a care setting, and at least one standard charge (gross charge, discounted cash price, or a payer-specific negotiated dollar amount, percentage, or algorithm). Rows missing any of these can't be matched to a real service or priced.
48 of 1388991 rows are missing a required field.
Citation: 45 CFR 180.50(b); CMS v3.0.0 CSV/JSON data dictionary, required-field list
Remediation: Fill in the description, code, code|type, and setting for every row, and make sure every row carries at least one standard charge, before republishing.
Affects 48 row(s).
Methodology is present whenever a negotiated rate is present
Blocker · HPT-L1-005Any 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.).
48 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 48 row(s).
L2: Completeness and plausibility
No placeholder values in price or payer fields
Warning · HPT-L2-014Values 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.
23197 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 23,197 row(s).
