Keep your file conforming, automatically.
Atalaya watches your hospital price file against the live rule. When your data or the rule drifts, we regenerate and republish a conforming file. Start by seeing what one warning could cost you.
You leave with the picture, whether or not we ever work together. Real numbers, every finding shown, nothing held back.
You can’t see the file break.
You find out your file broke from an angry patient, or a warning letter. Never in time. The rule barely changes; your own file drifts out from under you.
Watch. Detect. Regenerate.
Sell the thermostat, not the smoke detector. It holds the state instead of only alerting you.
01
Watch
We watch your published price file against the current rule, continuously, not once.
02
Detect
When your data changes or the rule changes, we catch the drift, the file falling out of conformance.
03
Regenerate
We regenerate and republish a conforming file, on its own, so what's public stays current and valid.
Regenerates automatically
Format, schema (v3.0), the cms-hpt.txt pointer, file naming, required fields, and republishing with a current date regenerate automatically. So do negotiated rate changes once Atalaya is fed your source of truth.
Scoped setup, not push-button
The 2026 percentile allowed-amount fields, derived from your rolling 835 remittance data, are scoped setup data engineering inside your revenue-cycle system, not push-button regeneration.
We keep your file current and conforming. You attest. CMS decides.
The enforcement reality
April 1, 2026
Enforcement is live
CMS began enforcing the hospital price transparency rule on April 1, 2026. The requirement itself has stood since 2021.
From day one
The clock compounds
A civil monetary penalty accrues daily from the warning date until the file is fixed. CMS may impose additional penalties until full compliance.
Common
Warnings, not fines
Most hospitals that draw a warning are never fined. The value is seeing the warning coming, and the clock, before CMS or an angry patient does.
The full enforcement lifecycle and published noticesRead the studies
First to know, not failure-proof.
Atalaya is Spanish for watchtower, the high vantage that sees what’s coming first. The free check shows a hospital its own file, in the open, cited to the rule. No dashboards here, no other hospitals, no sample analyses. The generosity is the credibility.
The market view, how you compare, where warnings cluster, what a payer negotiates, is the product, released deliberately, never a public window.
Facts, never verdicts
We describe public posture and evidence. We never render “compliant.”
No invented findings
If your file is clean, we say clean, then show what a public scan can’t.
One hospital at a time
A stranger sees only their own hospital’s own status. Ever.
Run your check, then let us hold the line.
See your file’s posture in the open. When you want it watched continuously and regenerated when it drifts, that’s a conversation.
