Score history

L1: Schema conformance

JSON file has all required top-level metadata fields

Blocker · HPT-L1-006

A v3.0.0 JSON MRF must include hospital_name, last_updated_on, version, and an attestation object at the top level. Missing any of these means the file doesn't conform to the CMS JSON schema.

Missing top-level field(s): attestation.

Citation: CMS v3.0.0 JSON schema, top-level required properties

Remediation: Add the missing top-level field(s) (hospital_name, last_updated_on, version, attestation) to the JSON file.

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: attestation statement, 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.

File was updated within the last 12 months

Warning · HPT-L2-050

last_updated_on should reflect a recent refresh of the underlying charge data. A file that hasn't been updated in over a year is likely showing stale prices, even if it otherwise validates.

File was last updated on 2025-07-01, more than 12 months ago.

Citation: 45 CFR 180.50(c) — MRF must be updated at least annually

Remediation: Regenerate and republish the file with a current last_updated_on date reflecting the actual data refresh.

L3: Discoverability compliance

MRF filename follows the CMS naming convention

Warning · HPT-L3-002

CMS expects the MRF filename to follow <ein>_<hospital-name>_standardcharges.<ext>. A non-conforming filename makes the file harder for automated tools (including CMS's own review process) to identify.

Filename "580593388_candler-hospital_standardcharges293f9cd3-a627-4d74-aabc-b691b192010e.json" doesn't match <ein>_<hospital-name>_standardcharges.<ext>.

Citation: 45 CFR 180.50(b)(1)(i) — file naming convention

Remediation: Rename the file to <ein>_<hospital-name>_standardcharges.csv (or .json), using the hospital's EIN with no dashes.
