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: 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.

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.

1 Type 2 NPI(s) fail checksum validation: TRUE.

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 5 line item(s), only 1 distinct payer(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-L2-050

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 1/1/2025, 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.
