# HealthParse Hospital CapEx Signals

> HealthParse Hospital CapEx Signals is a paid API for AI agents from api.healthparse.io, paid per call via x402, $0.1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns hospitals that experienced a major step-up in movable equipment purchases (≥$1M and ≥2x prior year) based on CMS Worksheet A-7 cost reports.

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 healthparse-hospital-capex-signals-e893eb70
```

Example prompt: Show me hospitals in Florida and Georgia that had a movable-equipment purchase spike — at least $1.5M and double their prior year spend — since January 1, 2024, and return up to 50 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to detect hospitals that have made significant jumps in movable equipment capital spending based on official CMS cost report filings — ideal for medical device/equipment sales intelligence, healthcare market analysis, or investment research. Prefer this over general hospital search when the specific signal of year-over-year equipment spend acceleration is the key criterion rather than static attributes like bed count or star rating.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid state code returns a 400 validation error
- since date in wrong format (not YYYY-MM-DD) causes a 400 error
- min_amount set to an unrealistically high value returns an empty result set
- cursor from a different query context may produce unexpected results or a 400 error
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) returns a 402 Payment Required response
- No hospitals match the filter criteria returns an empty list with no cursor

## How this service works

Hospital capital-expenditure jump signals from CMS cost reports (Worksheet A-7): hospitals whose major movable equipment purchases hit at least $1M and at least 2x the prior fiscal year — an observational marker that a hospital reported a step-up in equipment spend. Answers: which hospitals just bought equipment? Includes purchase dollars by asset class and the prior-year comparison. Filter by state, min_amount (movable-equipment dollars), since; keyset cursor pagination.

## Output

A paginated list of hospital capital-expenditure signal events, each including the hospital's identifier, the trigger-year movable equipment purchase total, a breakdown by asset class, the prior-year comparison figure, the signal date, and a keyset cursor for fetching the next page.
