Score history
L1: Schema conformance
Required fields present on every line item
Blocker · HPT-L1-001Every standard charge line item must include a description, at least one billing code and code type, a care setting, and at least one standard charge (gross charge, discounted cash price, or a payer-specific negotiated dollar amount, percentage, or algorithm). Rows missing any of these can't be matched to a real service or priced.
3394 of 237969 rows are missing a required field.
Citation: 45 CFR 180.50(b); CMS v3.0.0 CSV/JSON data dictionary, required-field list
Remediation: Fill in the description, code, code|type, and setting for every row, and make sure every row carries at least one standard charge, before republishing.
Affects 3,394 row(s).
Setting is a recognized value
Blocker · HPT-L1-003The setting column must be one of 'inpatient', 'outpatient', or 'both'. Any other value can't be interpreted by downstream tools or payers reconciling the file.
4 rows have an unrecognized setting value.
Citation: CMS v3.0.0 CSV/JSON data dictionary, standard_charges.setting enum
Remediation: Set the setting column to inpatient, outpatient, or both for every row.
Affects 4 row(s).
Methodology is present whenever a negotiated rate is present
Blocker · HPT-L1-005Any row with a negotiated_dollar, negotiated_percentage, or negotiated_algorithm value must also state the methodology used to derive it (case rate, fee schedule, percent of total billed charges, etc.).
18369 rows have a negotiated rate but no methodology.
Citation: CMS v3.0.0 CSV/JSON data dictionary, standard_charges.methodology (required when negotiated fields present)
Remediation: Populate standard_charge|methodology for every row that has a negotiated dollar, percentage, or algorithm value.
Affects 18,369 row(s).
L2: Completeness and plausibility
Percentile allowed amounts are internally consistent
Blocker · HPT-L2-020Where median, 10th percentile, and 90th percentile allowed amounts are reported, the 10th percentile must be less than or equal to the median, which must be less than or equal to the 90th percentile, and the count of amounts behind the calculation must be greater than zero.
21329 rows have out-of-order percentiles or a non-positive count.
Citation: CY2026 OPPS final rule, 45 CFR 180.50(b)(4) — median/10th/90th percentile allowed amounts + count
Remediation: Recompute the percentile fields from the underlying remittance data so 10th <= median <= 90th, and ensure count reflects the number of amounts behind the calculation.
Affects 21,329 row(s).
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.
237969 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 237,969 row(s).
