🟡Sentara (Optima)

This data contains the price transparency machine-readable files provided by Sentara that have been normalized into easy-to-use tables.

Sentara's JSON files are not parseable in their posted format. Specifically, there are escape characters present in the JSON (\) and a few entries where there are multiple double quotes ("CPT "LOADED" .."). This makes the JSON invalid, but these errors are fixable with a tool like UltraEdit or similar text editing tool, at which point they can be parsed.
