Hospital Price Transparency File Check
Check a CMS Hospital Price Transparency v3.0.0 machine-readable file in your browser.
Open the tool → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.
Example
- Format
- CSV tall
- Charge rows
- 1
Result: No v3.0.0 structural deficiencies found.
Answer the questions this way to reach that result. Your own answers give your own.
Inputs and output
- What you enter
One CMS v3.0.0 CSV or JSON hospital price file. The practical size limit is what your browser can open; the standard 50 MB upload-workbench limit does not apply.
- What you get
- A pass result or a capped table of structural deficiencies with each CSV row or JSON path, plus the total deficiency and charge-row counts.
What this is
The checker streams CSV tall, CSV wide and JSON files, so memory use follows the current row or charge item instead of the whole file.
When to use it
Use this before publishing or analyzing a hospital price file. It catches missing 2026 fields, bad template values and broken conditional relationships while keeping the file on your device.
