## 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-medical-bill-negotiation-guide-4c1c758f
```

Example prompt: I just got a $4,200 hospital bill for an appendectomy at St. Mary's — can you pull me the Medicare benchmark rate and a negotiation script so I can call and get it reduced, plus check if there's any charity care I qualify for?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a patient or patient-advocate agent needs actionable negotiation tools — scripts, anchor pricing, and charity-care pathways — rather than simply looking up list prices. Best when the user already has a bill in hand and wants to actively reduce it rather than compare providers before care.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown procedure code or no Medicare benchmark available — returns partial result or error
- Hospital not found in database — charity-care options may be unavailable
- Missing required bill details — returns validation error
- Ambiguous procedure description — may return multiple benchmark options requiring user disambiguation

## Output
