Automated analysis of the public file, using the current MRF Preflight ruleset. Not legal advice. Hospitals may re-scan at any time.
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.
6 rows have out-of-order percentiles or a count CMS does not allow.
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 6 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.
146844 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 146,844 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 "746025069_Matagorda-Regional-Medical-Center_standardcharges.zip" 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.
