# FindMyDirectDoctor Care Options Overview API > FindMyDirectDoctor Care Options Overview API is a paid API for AI agents from api.findmydirectdoctor.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31). Returns the 3 lowest-cost DPC/cash-pay doctors, 3 nearest HRSA sliding-fee clinics, and (optionally) 3 lowest hospital cash prices for a named service — all near a given US location. ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://api.findmydirectdoctor.com/v1/care-options?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: $0.05/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-31 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/findmydirectdoctor-care-options-overview-api-353e3ac1 - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_WS27qsS-Q-CunR1sGietQ 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 findmydirectdoctor-care-options-overview-api-353e3ac1 ``` Example prompt: I don't have insurance — can you find me the cheapest primary care doctors, any sliding-fee clinics, and the lowest hospital cash price for a brain MRI within 25 miles of ZIP code 66210? ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need a single-call, consolidated view of affordable care options across multiple provider types (DPC doctors, community health centers, and hospital cash prices) near a US location. It is ideal for uninsured or underinsured users seeking cost-conscious care and for agents that want to surface a ranked, plain-English summary without making separate calls to each provider type. Not suited for detailed doctor profiles, appointment booking, insurance billing lookups, or non-US locations. ## Known failure modes - No providers found within the requested radius — try increasing radius_miles up to 100 - Invalid or unrecognized ZIP code returns a location resolution error - Unknown service name may not match any CPT/HCPCS code in the hospital price library, returning no hospital_prices block - lat/lng out of range or non-US location returns a validation error - Missing required location parameter (no zip, no lat+lng, no city+state) returns a 400 error ## How this service works One-call overview of lower-cost care options near a location: the 3 lowest-priced direct primary care (DPC) and cash-pay doctors, the 3 nearest HRSA health centers (sliding fee clinics), and, when a service is named, the 3 lowest posted hospital cash prices with the area median and financial assistance links. Includes a short plain options overview. ## Output A JSON object containing: the interpreted query; a plain-language options overview; up to 3 DPC/cash-pay doctors with membership pricing; up to 3 HRSA community health centers with contact info, address, and distance; optionally up to 3 hospitals with the lowest cash price for the requested service including financial assistance URLs and area median price; data freshness date; attribution and disclaimer text. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET" ], "type": "string" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "required": [], "properties": { "lat": { "type": "number", "maximum": 90, "minimum": -90, "description": "Latitude in decimal degrees.
