Transparency checks
Attestation and responsible official1 failed
MRF correctly encodes the accuracy and completeness attestationFailed
must have required property 'attestation'
MRF correctly encodes the attester's namePassed
The completed structural evaluation reported no deficiency for this nonconditional check.
Hospital and MRF information1 failed
MRF declares this hospital's Type 2 NPICouldn't determine
Why: CareCarta's reference data lacks a value needed for this check, such as the hospital's NPI.
CareCarta's facility reference has no Type 2 NPI to compare.
MRF correctly encodes its template version and update dateFailed
The value in this MRF's version data element "2.2.0" does not match the expected template version "3.0.0" for the data dictionary requirements selected for validation.
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 1,385 charge objects and blank on 4,145 charge objects. 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 1,385 charge objects and blank on 4,145 charge objects. The MRF alone cannot prove that every applicable hospital item or service is represented.
MRF correctly encodes the de-identified minimum negotiated chargeCouldn't determine
Why: The CMS validator reported problems CareCarta could not attribute to a specific check, so this one is not called clear.
The CMS validator reported 2 errors about the charge rows that CareCarta could not attach to a specific check, so this check is not called clear. The errors are listed under template conformance.
MRF correctly encodes the de-identified maximum negotiated chargeCouldn't determine
Why: The CMS validator reported problems CareCarta could not attribute to a specific check, so this one is not called clear.
The CMS validator reported 2 errors about the charge rows that CareCarta could not attach to a specific check, so this check is not called clear. The errors are listed under template conformance.
Payer-specific negotiated charge4 failed
MRF correctly encodes payer and plan namesCouldn't determine
Why: The CMS validator reported problems CareCarta could not attribute to a specific check, so this one is not called clear.
The CMS validator reported 2 errors about the charge rows that CareCarta could not attach to a specific check, so this check is not called clear. The errors are listed under template conformance.
MRF correctly encodes how each charge was establishedCouldn't determine
Why: The CMS validator reported problems CareCarta could not attribute to a specific check, so this one is not called clear.
The CMS validator reported 2 errors about the charge rows that CareCarta could not attach to a specific check, so this check is not called clear. The errors are listed under template conformance.
Rate expression and methodology4 failed
MRF expresses each negotiated rate as a dollar amount, percentage, or algorithmCouldn't determine
Why: The CMS validator reported problems CareCarta could not attribute to a specific check, so this one is not called clear.
The CMS validator reported 2 errors about the charge rows that CareCarta could not attach to a specific check, so this check is not called clear. The errors are listed under template conformance.
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.
8,553 percentage- or algorithm-based payer rates require semantic review of whether a reasonable user can derive a dollar amount.
Allowed-amount statistics4 failed
MRF correctly encodes the 10th percentile allowed amountFailed
must match "then" schema (reported 17,106 times). must have required property '10th_percentile' (reported 8,553 times).
MRF correctly encodes the median allowed amountFailed
must match "then" schema (reported 17,106 times). must have required property 'median_amount' (reported 8,553 times).
MRF correctly encodes the 90th percentile allowed amountFailed
must match "then" schema (reported 17,106 times). must have required property '90th_percentile' (reported 8,553 times).
MRF correctly encodes the count of allowed amountsFailed
must have required property 'count' (reported 8,553 times). must match "then" schema (reported 17,106 times).
Item and service information2 couldn't be determined
MRF correctly encodes each item or service descriptionCouldn't determine
Why: The CMS validator reported problems CareCarta could not attribute to a specific check, so this one is not called clear.
The CMS validator reported 2 errors about the charge rows that CareCarta could not attach to a specific check, so this check is not called clear. The errors are listed under template conformance.
MRF correctly encodes the inpatient or outpatient settingCouldn't determine
Why: The CMS validator reported problems CareCarta could not attribute to a specific check, so this one is not called clear.
The CMS validator reported 2 errors about the charge rows that CareCarta could not attach to a specific check, so this check is not called clear. The errors are listed under template conformance.
MRF correctly encodes drug units and measurement typeNot applicable
No NDC-coded records were found across 5,530 parsed records.
Billing and coding information1 couldn't be determined
MRF correctly encodes billing codes and code typesCouldn't determine
Why: The CMS validator reported problems CareCarta could not attribute to a specific check, so this one is not called clear.
The CMS validator reported 2 errors about the charge rows that CareCarta could not attach to a specific check, so this check is not called clear. The errors are listed under template conformance.
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.
CMS file format1 failed
