Automated analysis of the public file, using the current MRF Preflight ruleset. Not legal advice. Hospitals may re-scan at any time.
L2: Completeness and plausibility
Type 2 organizational NPIs pass checksum validation
Blocker · HPT-L2-040Every 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.
File has a plausible amount of charge and payer coverage
Info · HPT-L2-060A 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.
File was updated within the last 12 months
Warning · HPT-L2-050last_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 2024-10-08, 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.
