## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability clearcarepulse-episode-of-care-total-cost-9095e1e3
```

Example prompt: What's the true all-in cost for a total knee replacement — can you break down every component: surgeon, facility, anesthesia, physical therapy, and any follow-up visits so I know the real price before I commit?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user or patient-advocate agent needs the complete, all-inclusive cost picture for a medical procedure rather than just a single-line price. It is specifically designed to surface hidden components like anesthesia and PT that standard price lists omit. Prefer this over simpler procedure price lookups when total financial planning or cost comparison across full episodes is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized procedure code or name returns an error or empty result
- Insufficient geographic or plan context may yield a national average rather than local estimate
- Rare or highly specialized procedures may lack sufficient data for accurate aggregation
- Missing required input parameters returns a 400 validation error
- Rate limits or payment failures return a 402 or 429 error

## How this service works

Total episode-of-care cost for healthcare and patient-advocate agents. Sums every component, surgeon, facility, anesthesia, PT, and follow-up, into the real all-in price of a procedure.

## Output

Returns a structured total episode-of-care cost figure that aggregates all component costs (surgeon fees, facility fees, anesthesia, physical therapy, follow-up visits) into one comprehensive price, along with an itemized breakdown of each cost component.
