Capabilities

Tools 12

compare_local_prices

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Compare hospitals near a ZIP by price or distance for a code from search_cpt_codes. Lead with answer: lowest cash, insurer comparison, verdict, follow-up, and search link. Its prices are single published prices; options use hospital medians. Without insurer, compare cash; with insurer, compare negotiated rates, not personal out-of-pocket costs. Preserve sources, dates, included fees, caveats, and each hospital’s city/state. Rank before limiting; missing matching prices are null and last. Do not send patient identifiers.

Discovered
explain_price_sources

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Explain only the returned source labels, counts, confidence, and caveats. Separate available prices from unavailable placeholders; if none are available, say so without inventing prices or source categories.

Discovered
get_entity_prices

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Get source-labeled prices by Loa listing slug; use search_entities to resolve it first. Missing CPT prices return explicit unavailable rows.

Discovered
get_entity_profile

Get a hospital or provider profile by exact Loa slug or ID, with field provenance. On request, offer correction_url for corrections plus optional affiliation verification, or claim_url for affiliation only. Both forms allow intake without an account; dashboard access requires verification. Use the exact loa_link.label.

Discovered
get_hospital_pricing

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Get source-labeled Published MRF prices and Loa Verified Provider Price overlays for named hospitals and CPT codes. Cash is self-pay, list is the gross charge before discounts, and insurer rates are not personal out-of-pocket costs; missing prices are null.

Discovered
get_market_pricing

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Benchmark statewide or national cash, list, and insurer prices; each hospital counts once. Lead with median and p25–p75, report limitations, and never fill insufficient_data gaps. These are not ZIP-local quotes or personal out-of-pocket costs.

Discovered
get_pricing_estimate

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Estimate median cash prices and typical ranges (25th–75th percentile) for CPT codes, statewide by ZIP or nationally. Report missingCodes and insufficient_data without inventing prices; totals require data for every code. Use get_market_pricing for insurer benchmarks or get_hospital_pricing for named hospitals.

Discovered
search_cpt_codes

Find procedures by everyday name or billing code. Follow decision: clarify important variants before pricing; never choose a clinical default.

Discovered
search_entities

Find Loa hospital and provider listings by name or state. Resolve the exact slug before profile, price, or source lookups.

Discovered
search_hospitals

Find hospitals by name or location, with addresses, contact details, and IDs for get_hospital_pricing.

Discovered
search_providers

Find clinicians and healthcare organizations in the CMS NPI Registry by name, specialty, or location. Returns directory details, not prices.

Discovered
submit_entity_update_request

Submit a pending listing or price correction for Loa review. Requires sign-in, not a claimed listing; stores business contact details and public evidence. Patient data is unsupported. Does not publish changes, verify affiliation, or grant dashboard access. Website correction and claim links come from get_entity_profile.
