L2: Completeness and plausibility

No placeholder values in price or payer fields

Warning · HPT-L2-014

Values 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.

135824 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 135,824 row(s).

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 "mrf" 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.
