## How to call it through Zero

```sh

```

Example prompt: I need a knee arthroscopy — can you find me lower-cost alternatives to doing it at a hospital, like an ASC or imaging center, and show me how much I'd save at each option?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a patient or advocate needs to identify lower-cost facility alternatives for a specific procedure rather than just finding the cheapest single provider. Prefer this over a general procedure price search when the goal is to compare facility types (e.g., ASC vs hospital) and understand the structural cost delta across care settings rather than listing individual providers.

## Known failure modes

- Procedure code or name not recognized — returns error or empty results
- No alternative sites available in the specified geography — returns empty list
- Insufficient pricing data for a specific facility type — partial results returned
- Invalid or unsupported insurance plan — defaults to cash-pay estimates
- Rate limit or payment failure for $0.1 USDC x402 call — 402 Payment Required
