How this service works
What to look at after a loss of job-based coverage or a change in coverage: COBRA alternatives, self-employed options, special enrollment windows, Medicaid eligibility, the 2027 Medicaid work requirement with state start dates where state guides give them, Medicare Savings Program limits, free clinics, and helpline numbers. Quoted from 29 published guides with source links.
Output
A JSON object containing: quoted facts from physician-reviewed guides with section labels and source URLs, structured key_items with day-count deadlines and labels, a guide object (title, slug, URL, last_reviewed date), related guide slugs, external source citations, a credit and disclaimer, and data_as_of timestamp. For helplines topics, returns a filtered list of helpline names and contact details.
Example use cases
Job loss coverage options research
“I just lost my job and my health insurance with it — what are my coverage options right now? Look up the job-loss topic and tell me about COBRA, marketplace enrollment windows, and Medicaid eligibility.”
State Medicaid work requirement deadline
“Can you check the Medicaid work requirement rules for Texas? I want to know when the work requirement starts in that state and what it means for eligibility.”
Finding free clinics with no insurance
“I have no health insurance and can't afford a doctor visit — can you find me information on free clinics and sliding-scale options, including any helpline numbers I can call for help?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.findmydirectdoctor.com/v1/coverage/transitions?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an agent needs authoritative, sourced, human-readable facts about US health coverage transitions — especially job loss, COBRA, Medicaid, Medicare Savings Programs, or free clinics — and wants pre-extracted key deadlines (day counts) with source links. Prefer over a general web search when structured, physician-reviewed, consistently formatted output with citation URLs is needed. Best for agents building coverage-decision workflows, answering user questions about insurance options, or surfacing deadline-critical information like 60-day enrollment windows.

- q and limit parameters are only respected for topic=helplines; ignored otherwise
- Guide content may be dated if data_as_of is stale relative to policy changes
