Hospital file compliance: Indiana

Every hospital whose price file we could not use as published, and where the process stands. Updated October 6, 2026.

Where it stands. Of the 19 hospitals below, notices sent to 17, 14 replied and awaiting a corrected file or an explanation, 1 awaiting a contact address, 1 closed. While a row is open, every figure on this site that touches that hospital is flagged or excluded. A closed row is a hospital whose file is in use as published.

Rates read as components, not full prices · 13

Rates on a large share of procedures fall below 60 percent of what Medicare pays, which is consistent with professional-only or component amounts rather than the full facility price. These cells are flagged and excluded from medians. It may be a legitimate contract structure; we have asked the hospital to say which.

File does not meet the required format · 3

The published file is not the machine-readable file the rule describes: a chargemaster with no payer-specific rates, a workbook served under a .csv name, a dead link in the hospital’s own cms-hpt.txt, or a file with no billing codes on its rows.

Almost no procedures carry dollar amounts · 2

The file parses, but only a handful of the 107 basket procedures carry a commercial dollar amount. The hospital appears on the site with those few prices and nothing else.

Gross charge written as the negotiated rate · 1

For at least half of the hospital’s commercial plans, the amount in the “negotiated rate” column is identical to the gross charge. A negotiated rate that equals list price is not a negotiated rate; the cells are flagged and left out of every median on this site until the file is fixed.

Hospitals that are exempt from the rule (federal facilities, and campuses that publish under a parent hospital’s license) are not counted above. Quality flags on individual prices, as opposed to whole files, are described on the methodology page. The complete log for every state is in Data & research.
