## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability healthparse-hospital-price-transparency-search-2a8687ba
```

Example prompt: What do major payers actually pay for CPT code 27447 (total knee replacement) at hospitals in Ohio — pull up to 50 negotiated rates from hospital price transparency files and show me the payer and rate for each?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need actual payer-negotiated rates at specific hospitals sourced directly from hospital-published machine-readable files (MRFs) under the CMS price transparency rule. Prefer this over national averages when you need facility-specific or payer-specific granularity, or when comparing what different insurers pay for the same procedure. Use the sibling national statistics endpoint if you want aggregate price benchmarks instead of individual negotiated rates.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the given billing code or payer combination — returned empty result set
- Invalid billing_code_type value causes a 400 validation error
- CCN not found in MRF dataset returns empty list
- Rate data may be stale if hospitals haven't updated their MRFs recently
- Overly broad queries (e.g., no filters) may hit result caps and require pagination
- Payer name spelling mismatches may return no results due to string matching

## How this service works

Search hospital price-transparency negotiated rates by billing code (CPT/HCPCS/MS-DRG), state, payer, hospital CCN, or rate type. Answers: what do payers actually pay for this procedure at these hospitals? Source: hospital-published MRFs.

## Output

Returns a paginated list of negotiated rate records from hospital machine-readable files, each including billing code, billing code type, payer name, hospital CCN, rate type, and the actual negotiated dollar amount — up to 100 results per call.
