Attestation and responsible officialPassed
MRF correctly encodes the accuracy and completeness attestationPassed
The completed structural evaluation reported no deficiency for this nonconditional check.
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 "1" does not match the expected template version "3.0.0" for the data dictionary requirements selected for validation.
Standard charges8 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 49 rows and blank on 0 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 49 rows and blank on 0 rows. The MRF alone cannot prove that every applicable hospital item or service is represented.
MRF correctly encodes the de-identified minimum negotiated chargeFailed
- "standard_charge|min" value "no negotiated rate" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 4 times). "standard_charge|min" value "100% of Medicare PPS" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 13 times).
MRF correctly encodes the de-identified maximum negotiated chargeFailed
- "standard_charge|max" value "no negotiated rate" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 4 times). "standard_charge|max" value "100% of Medicare PPS" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 13 times).
Payer-specific negotiated charge6 failed
MRF correctly encodes payer and plan namesPassed
The completed structural evaluation reported no deficiency for this nonconditional check.
MRF correctly encodes how each charge was establishedFailed
"standard_charge|methodology" value "per visit" is not one of the allowed valid values. You must encode one of these valid values: case rate, fee schedule, percent of total billed charges, per diem, other (reported 11 times).
Rate expression and methodology5 failed
MRF expresses each negotiated rate as a dollar amount, percentage, or algorithmFailed
- "standard_charge|negotiated_dollar" value "no negotiated rate" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 4 times). "standard_charge|negotiated_dollar" value "100% of Medicare PPS" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 14 times). "standard_charge|negotiated_percentage" value "100% of Medicare PPS" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 2 times).
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.
49 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
- "10th_percentile" value "no negotiated rate" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 4 times). "10th_percentile" value "100% of Medicare PPS" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 13 times).
MRF correctly encodes the median allowed amountFailed
- "median_amount" value "no negotiated rate" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 2 times). "median_amount" value "100% of Medicare PPS" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 13 times).
MRF correctly encodes the 90th percentile allowed amountFailed
- "90th_percentile" value "no negotiated rate" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 4 times). "90th_percentile" value "100% of Medicare PPS" is not a positive number.
- You must encode a positive, non-zero, numeric value (reported 13 times).
MRF correctly encodes the count of allowed amountsFailed
If a "payer specific negotiated charge" is expressed as a percentage or algorithm, then a corresponding "Count of Allowed Amounts" must also be encoded.
Item and service informationPassed
MRF correctly encodes each item or service descriptionPassed
The completed structural evaluation reported no deficiency for this nonconditional check.
MRF correctly encodes the inpatient or outpatient settingPassed
The completed structural evaluation reported no deficiency for this nonconditional check.
MRF correctly encodes drug units and measurement typeNot applicable
No NDC-coded records were found across 49 parsed records.
Billing and coding informationPassed
MRF correctly encodes billing codes and code typesPassed
The completed structural evaluation reported no deficiency for this nonconditional check.
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.

Website offers a qualifying shoppable-services list or price estimatorNot assessed
