# CQC Provider Registration Scope Preflight

> CQC Provider Registration Scope Preflight is a paid API for AI agents from cqc.regevidencehub.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-15).

Determines whether a UK healthcare provider's proposed service activities fall within CQC registration scope under applicable regulatory rules, returning a scope decision or review flag.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 cqc-provider-registration-scope-preflight-a206a298 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: We're setting up a new domiciliary care agency in England that provides personal care and nursing care but no accommodation — can you run a CQC registration scope check to tell us whether we need to register and flag any issues?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a deterministic, rules-based preflight determination of CQC registration scope before submitting a formal application — especially for edge cases involving diagnostic exceptions, shared lives schemes, TDDI assessments, AI software supply, or Ofsted-regulated activities where scope is non-obvious. Prefer this over general legal Q&A tools when you need a structured, auditable scope decision grounded in CQC regulatory logic rather than a narrative legal opinion.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required service_type field returns validation error
- Incomplete scope facts (scope_facts_complete: false) may produce REVIEW_REQUIRED rather than a definitive decision
- Unsupported country value (non-England) may return an out-of-scope or error response
- Conflicting boolean flags (e.g. both HFEA exception and standard diagnostic) may produce ambiguous findings
- Malformed date in event_tddi_assessment_date causes schema rejection
- Network or payment failure results in HTTP 402 or 5xx without a scope decision

## How this service works

Remote MCP decision service plus a narrow HTTP x402 compatibility surface for the two primary commercial entry points. Both HTTP routes execute the same deterministic provider engine as MCP.

## Output

A JSON object containing a status field (e.g. REVIEW_REQUIRED, IN_SCOPE, OUT_OF_SCOPE) and a findings array listing specific regulatory considerations, exceptions that apply, or issues requiring manual review before CQC registration.
