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
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.
L3: Discoverability compliance
MRF filename follows the CMS naming convention
Warning · HPT-L3-002CMS 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 "52-0607949-MeritusMedicalCenter-standardcharges-06102026.csv" 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.
