Attestation and responsible official2 failed
MRF correctly encodes the accuracy and completeness attestationFailed
- Header column "To the best of its knowledge and belief, this hospital has…" is miscoded or missing.
Each header listed must be included and encoded as the CMS data dictionary specifies.
MRF correctly encodes the attester's nameFailed
- Header column "attester_name" is miscoded or missing.
Each header listed must be included and encoded as the CMS data dictionary specifies.
Hospital and MRF information1 couldn't be determined
MRF declares this hospital's Type 2 NPICouldn't determine
Why: The hospital's file does not include a value this check needs.
The MRF does not declare a Type 2 NPI.
MRF correctly encodes its template version and update datePassed
The completed structural evaluation reported no deficiency for this nonconditional check.
Standard charges4 failed
MRF lists a gross charge for every item and serviceNot assessed
Why: The price file alone cannot answer this; it needs evidence from outside the file.
Gross charge values are populated on 6,878 rows and blank on 2,748 rows. The MRF alone cannot prove that every applicable hospital item or service is represented.
MRF lists a discounted cash price for every item and service that has oneNot assessed
Why: The price file alone cannot answer this; it needs evidence from outside the file.
Discounted cash price values are populated on 5,652 rows and blank on 3,974 rows. The MRF alone cannot prove that every applicable hospital item or service is represented.
MRF correctly encodes the de-identified minimum negotiated chargeBlocked
Blocked because this check failed: MRF passes the CMS validator without errors
The CMS validator found errors in the file's header rows and did not check the charge rows, so this check could not be evaluated. This is not a separate failure.
MRF correctly encodes the de-identified maximum negotiated chargeBlocked
Blocked because this check failed: MRF passes the CMS validator without errors
The CMS validator found errors in the file's header rows and did not check the charge rows, so this check could not be evaluated. This is not a separate failure.
Payer-specific negotiated charge4 failed
MRF correctly encodes payer and plan namesBlocked
Blocked because this check failed: MRF passes the CMS validator without errors
The CMS validator found errors in the file's header rows and did not check the charge rows, so this check could not be evaluated. This is not a separate failure.
MRF correctly encodes how each charge was establishedBlocked
Blocked because this check failed: MRF passes the CMS validator without errors
The CMS validator found errors in the file's header rows and did not check the charge rows, so this check could not be evaluated. This is not a separate failure.
Rate expression and methodology4 failed
MRF expresses each negotiated rate as a dollar amount, percentage, or algorithmBlocked
Blocked because this check failed: MRF passes the CMS validator without errors
The CMS validator found errors in the file's header rows and did not check the charge rows, so this check could not be evaluated. This is not a separate failure.
Percentage and algorithm rates give enough information to derive a dollar amountCouldn't determine
Why: This needs a person to judge; the automated check cannot decide it.
58,070 percentage- or algorithm-based payer rates require semantic review of whether a reasonable user can derive a dollar amount.
Allowed-amount statistics4 failed

Item and service information3 blocked
MRF correctly encodes each item or service descriptionBlocked
Blocked because this check failed: MRF passes the CMS validator without errors
The CMS validator found errors in the file's header rows and did not check the charge rows, so this check could not be evaluated. This is not a separate failure.
MRF correctly encodes the inpatient or outpatient settingBlocked
Blocked because this check failed: MRF passes the CMS validator without errors
The CMS validator found errors in the file's header rows and did not check the charge rows, so this check could not be evaluated. This is not a separate failure.
MRF correctly encodes drug units and measurement typeBlocked
Blocked because this check failed: MRF passes the CMS validator without errors
The CMS validator found errors in the file's header rows and did not check the charge rows, so this check could not be evaluated. This is not a separate failure.
Billing and coding information1 blocked
MRF correctly encodes billing codes and code typesBlocked
Blocked because this check failed: MRF passes the CMS validator without errors

MRF lists every applicable modifier and its chargesNot assessed
Why: The price file alone cannot answer this; it needs evidence from outside the file.
The MRF was parsed for encoded modifiers, but the file alone cannot establish whether every applicable modifier-specific charge is represented.
