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.

9 of 29740 rows are missing a required field.

The 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.

4889 rows use a code type outside the CMS enum.

The 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.

4889 rows have an unrecognized setting value.

standard_charge|gross and standard_charge|discounted_cash must be plain numbers. Text, currency symbols, or ranges in these columns break every automated consumer of the file.

171 rows have a non-numeric gross charge or discounted cash value.

Any 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.).

4202 rows have a negotiated rate but no methodology.

Where 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.

4061 rows have out-of-order percentiles or a count CMS does not allow.
