Score history

L1: Schema conformance

Required fields present on every line item

Blocker · HPT-L1-001

Every 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.

192 of 157050 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 192 row(s).

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.

157050 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 157,050 row(s).
