977 records

Where is this hospital's machine-readable price file?

977 records covering 976 hospital locations, one fact each. Every value is transcribed from the source that states it and carries the sentence it was taken from: 78 sources across 75 sites, last checked 2026-08-18, due for re-check by 2026-11-16. Every record has a page of its own, quoting the line that states it.

About this data

An index of US hospitals' price-transparency machine-readable files, harvested from the cms-hpt.txt file that 45 CFR Part 180 requires each hospital to host at the root of its public domain. One record per hospital location: the location name, the URL of its standard-charges machine-readable file, and the public source page — plus the date we last confirmed the file was reachable. Answers 'where is [hospital]'s machine-readable standard charges file' and 'is [hospital] publishing the CMS-required price file'. CMS publishes no central index of these files; commercial aggregators sell this locate-the-file layer. Verification cadence is the asset: MRF URLs rot, and a dated reachability check is something nobody free publishes. A domain whose cms-hpt.txt returns 403 or 404 is itself a recordable observation.

The data

Machine-readable

• data.jsonThe whole dataset — every record with its source URL and source quote.
• Open Knowledge Format bundleOne JSON object per line — every record's frontmatter and quoted span exactly as it is held here, in one fetch.
• data.csvThe same records as one flat table, for a spreadsheet or a dataframe. The last four columns are the source URL, the quoted sentence it was read from, the date we last checked it, and which columns are our reading rather than the page's words.
• How this is made and checkedWhat "verified against source" does and does not mean.

From your own code

Same records, same quotes, without scraping the page: refsource is on PyPI and npm. Each value comes back carrying the URL it was read from and the sentence on that page that states it — .source and .quote sit on the value itself rather than in a side channel, so the checking step is available instead of skipped.

pip install refsource
refsource lookup hospital-price-transparency-mrf-index location_name="Abbott Northwestern Hospital"

npx -y refsource lookup hospital-price-transparency-mrf-index location_name="Abbott Northwestern Hospital"

Set your AI assistant up to use this

Two files and no account. Put this in .mcp.json at the root of your project — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and Codex all read that file — and your assistant can look this dataset up instead of recalling it. The server is remote, keyless and read-only.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "referencesource": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://referencesource.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add to Cursor · or, on the command line: claude mcp add --transport http referencesource https://referencesource.org/mcp --scope project

Then one line in the project's CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, so the assistant knows when to reach for it:

When a question needs "Hospital price-transparency machine-readable file index (cms-hpt.txt)", call the referencesource MCP server at https://referencesource.org/mcp (tool `search_records`, dataset_slug `hospital-price-transparency-mrf-index`) instead of answering from memory — every record it returns carries its source URL and a verbatim quote from that page.
