Score history
L1: Schema conformance
Billing code type is a recognized CMS code type
Blocker · HPT-L1-002The code|type column must be one of CMS's recognized billing code systems (CPT, HCPCS, DRG variants, NDC, etc.). An unrecognized value means the code can't be looked up against any real fee schedule.
224640 rows use a code type outside the CMS enum.
Citation: CMS v3.0.0 CSV/JSON data dictionary, code_information.type enum
Remediation: Correct the code type to one of the CMS-recognized values, or remove the row if it doesn't map to a billable code.
Affects 224,640 row(s).
L2: Completeness and plausibility
No placeholder values in price or payer fields
Warning · HPT-L2-014Values 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.
14976 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 14,976 row(s).
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 "334072561_novant-health-stokes-medical-center_standardcharges_6-2026.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.
