SHARE OF EACH FILE CARRYING A PAYER-SPECIFIC RATE
0.67% of rows carry this year's required percentile figures
The CY2026 update requires the median, 10th and 90th percentile allowed amounts, sourced from 835 remittance data, alongside every payer-specific rate. Of the file's 531,829 rows, 3,541 carry any of the three fields.
The attester is Mike Brown, matching the CMS contact of record
Unlike several files in this review, the name in the attestation field and the published contact email are the same person, so whoever picks this up owns the whole thing end to end.
70% of rows carry an actual negotiated dollar figure
370,351 of 531,829 rows carry a real dollar amount rather than a percentage or algorithm placeholder — a solid majority of a genuinely large file.
Does the median/percentile gap reflect a genuine absence of 835 remittance data, or a publishing step that hasn't been wired up yet?
70% dollar-rate coverage suggests the underlying claims data exists. If the percentile figures are computable from the same data source, this could be a faster fix than it looks.
