## 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-hospital-price-lookup-21894580
```

Example prompt: What is the published chargemaster price for a total knee replacement at Johns Hopkins Hospital, how does it compare to the Medicare benchmark, and can you give me a negotiation script I can use with the billing department?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need hospital-specific published prices plus a Medicare benchmark comparison and a negotiation script in a single call. Prefer it over general procedure-cost search endpoints when the user already knows which hospital they are dealing with and needs actionable negotiation support, not just lowest-cost provider discovery.

## Known failure modes

- Hospital not found or not in database — returns 404 with message indicating no matching facility
- Procedure code or name unrecognized — returns 400 with suggestion to use standard CPT codes
- Hospital has not published prices (non-compliant) — returns partial data with disclaimer
- Rate limit or payment failure — returns 402 if USDC payment not processed
- Service unavailable — returns 503 during downtime

## How this service works

Hospital price lookup for healthcare and patient-advocate agents. Returns published prices, the Medicare benchmark, and a negotiation script for any procedure at a given hospital.

## Output

A structured response containing the hospital's published (chargemaster) price for the requested procedure, the corresponding Medicare reimbursement benchmark for comparison, and a ready-to-use negotiation script the patient or advocate can bring to the billing department.
