Loa Healthcare Pricing tools (12, 1 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • explain_price_sourcesFree

    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.

  • get_entity_pricesFree

    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.

  • get_entity_profileFree

    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.

  • get_hospital_pricingFree

    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.

  • get_market_pricingFree

    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.

  • get_pricing_estimateFree

    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.

  • search_cpt_codesFree

    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.

  • search_entitiesFree

    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_hospitalsFree

    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_providersFree

    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_requestwrite actionFree

    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.

  • suggest_proceduresFree

    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 signing in to Loa; without sign-in, use search_cpt_codes with consumer phrases instead.

What the publisher says

From the Loa Healthcare Pricing repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

Loa Healthcare Pricing MCP Server

Loa's hosted Model Context Protocol server gives MCP-capable assistants access to source-labeled healthcare pricing, CPT and HCPCS code search, U.S. provider and hospital discovery, and Loa entity profiles.

  • Live MCP documentation
  • Official MCP Registry listing
  • Healthcare pricing API
  • Downloadable U.S. healthcare price benchmark dataset
  • Data sources and methodology
  • Procedure price guides
  • U.S. healthcare provider directory
  • U.S. hospital directory

Remote endpoint

https://www.loacare.com/api/mcp

The hosted server uses Streamable HTTP. Clients should complete the server's advertised OAuth flow when a tool call requires authentication.

Native remote configuration

Use this configuration with clients that support remote MCP server URLs:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loacare": {
      "url": "https://www.loacare.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

For clients that require a local command, use the mcp-remote bridge:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loacare": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://www.loacare.com/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

See the live MCP documentation for current authentication, rate-limit, and troubleshooting guidance.

Available workflows

The server supports workflows for:

  • Searching medical procedure billing codes.
  • Finding U.S. healthcare providers and hospitals.
  • Resolving source-labeled Loa entity profiles.
  • Comparing published hospital price-transparency rows and available provider prices.
  • Explaining price provenance and source labels.
  • Submitting authenticated provider or hospital corrections for Loa review.

Available tools

The production server currently advertises 12 tools:

  • searchcptcodes
  • suggest_procedures
  • search_providers
  • search_hospitals
  • search_entities
  • getentityprofile
  • getentityprices
  • gethospitalpricing
  • getmarketpricing
  • getpricingestimate
  • explainpricesources
  • submitentityupdate_request

The public discovery methods initialize, notifications/initialized, ping, and tools/list can be used without authentication. Tool execution remains OAuth-protected.

Data scope

Loa returns public healthcare pricing and directory data. It does not require or return Protected Health Information. Pricing responses identify their source labels so clients can distinguish hospital machine-readable-file rows, provider-published prices, market estimates, and reviewed corrections.

Registry metadata

server.json is the public metadata submitted to the official MCP Registry under io.github.aanari/loacare-healthcare-pricing.

This repository publishes integration metadata and documentation for Loa's hosted MCP server. The production application source is maintained separately.
