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.
1850 of 694240 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 1,850 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.
10541 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 10,541 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.
409215 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 409,215 row(s).
