What this server can do
12 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
explain_price_sources(slug, limit, cpt_codes)- Explain the source labels, provenance, confidence, and caveats behind Loa prices for one hospital or provider entity. Use this when an agent needs to tell a user why prices are MRF-published, Loa-reviewed, estimated, or unavailable. Required: slug.
get_entity_prices(slug, limit, cpt_codes)- Return source-labeled prices for a Loa hospital or provider entity slug using the shared resolver. Use search_entities first if the slug is unknown. Results include provenance and explicit unavailable rows for requested CPT codes with no current price. Required: slug.
get_entity_profile(slug_or_id, entity_type)- Return one Loa hospital or provider entity profile by exact slug or entity_pages.id. Includes profile-field provenance so agents can distinguish source-file fields from Loa-reviewed overrides. Required: slug_or_id.
get_hospital_pricing(cpt_codes, hospital_ids)- Hospital-specific pricing tool for source-labeled Loa runtime data. Returns source-labeled Published MRF prices and Loa Verified Provider Price overlays for CPT codes, including cash/self-pay and payer-negotiated rates when available. Use this when comparing named hospitals or checking a quoted hospital price against available source rows. Required: hospital_ids, cpt_codes.
get_market_pricing(state, zip_code, cpt_codes)- Preferred benchmark pricing tool. Returns market cash/self-pay and insurance-negotiated price summaries for CPT codes, aggregated from Loa's hospital price-transparency dataset. Use this when the user wants source-grounded regional or national market pricing rather than a single-hospital rate. Required: cpt_codes.
get_pricing_estimate(zip_code, procedure_codes)- Quick directional estimate for one or more CPT codes. Prefers observed national market pricing derived from hospital price-transparency data, but falls back to a broad CPT-range heuristic when observed pricing is missing. Use this for a fast ballpark total. For source-grounded market benchmarks or hospital-specific source-labeled prices, prefer get_market_pricing or get_hospital_pricing. Required: procedure_codes.
search_cpt_codes(limit, query, category, specialty)- Canonical code-lookup tool for this server. Search Loa's CPT/HCPCS index using exact codes, clinical terms, or consumer phrases. Use this first when the user does not already know the CPT code, before calling pricing tools. Required: query.
search_entities(limit, query, state, entity_type)- Search Loa runtime hospital and provider entity pages by name or state. Use this before get_entity_prices when the user names a hospital or provider but does not know the exact Loa slug.
search_hospitals(city, name, limit, state, zip_code)- Search Loa's hospital directory by name or location and return hospital IDs plus address details. Use the returned hospital_ids with get_hospital_pricing to fetch source-labeled Published MRF and reviewed overlay prices.
search_providers(name, limit, location, specialty)- Search public CMS NPI Registry data for clinicians and healthcare organizations by specialty, name, or location. Use returned provenance to understand the registry source and scope. Use this for provider lookup, not pricing.
submit_entity_update_request(attestation, entity_slug, entity_type, price_items, source_urls, request_type, source_notes, entity_page_id, submitter_name, submitter_role, idempotency_key, submitter_email, submitter_phone, proposed_changes, uploaded_file_url, submitter_organization)- Submit a profile, listing, or price correction for Loa review without requiring a provider portal. This is the only mutating provider/entity tool. It requires OAuth, captures submitter and source evidence, records linked-provider status when available, and never changes public data until Loa approves the request. Required: submitter_email, request_type.
suggest_procedures(query)- Advisory helper that suggests likely CPT codes from a plain-English medical need. Uses Loa heuristics plus AI and is not authoritative or diagnostic. Use only when the user cannot name the procedure, then confirm candidates with search_cpt_codes before pricing them. Requires a LOA account. Required: query.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
| Signal | Value | What it measures | Window | Observed | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub stars | 1 | Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality. | cumulative, all time | GitHub | |
| Last commit | 2026-07-29 | Date of the most recent push to any branch. This is the strongest cheap indicator of whether the project is still maintained. | point in time | GitHub | |
| Open issues | 0 | Open issues plus open pull requests, as GitHub counts them together. A high number can mean an active project or an abandoned one. | as of fetch | GitHub | |

| repository status | active | The repository exists on GitHub and is not archived. This says nothing about how recently it was worked on. | as of fetch | GitHub | |

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as healthcare, price-transparency, provider-directory, cpt-codes. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.
This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
