# ProviderSignal Medicaid Fee Schedule API

> ProviderSignal Medicaid Fee Schedule API is a paid API for AI agents from providersignal.com, paid per call via x402, $0.5/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-16).

Returns US Medicaid fee-for-service reimbursement rates for procedure codes across all 50 states, with cross-state comparisons and category-level statistics

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://providersignal.com/api/v1/agent/medicaid/fee-schedule
- Price: $0.5/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

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 providersignal-medicaid-fee-schedule-api-0ccec4b2
```

Example prompt: What does Medicaid pay for CPT code 99213 across all states — I want to see the benchmark rates and what percentage of Medicare each state pays, especially California and Texas.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, cross-state Medicaid fee-for-service reimbursement data with source citations — particularly for benchmarking a specific CPT/HCPCS code against Medicare, auditing prior authorization requirements by state, or analyzing category-level fee schedule statistics. Prefer this over manual state lookups when you need structured, machine-readable data with freshness metadata across all 50 states in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid CPT/HCPCS code format (must match ^[A-Z0-9-]{3,7}$) returns validation error
- Invalid 2-letter state code returns error
- Requesting category stats without providing a state returns error
- Code not found in any state Medicaid schedule returns empty states array
- 402 Payment Required if no valid x402 USDC payment or MPP token or Bearer subscription key is provided
- Rate data may be missing (null benchmark_rate) for states that publish bare schedules without dollar amounts

## How this service works

Healthcare market intelligence API. Unified provider directory + acquisition signals + license-events feed across all 50 US states, derived from NPI + state dental boards + CMS Medicare + OIG LEIE + state Medicaid + HRSA HPSA designations. All responses ship a citation envelope (`meta.envelope_version`, `meta.source_attribution`, `meta.request`) so agents can verify source freshness without out-of-band validation. Paid `/api/v1/agent/*` endpoints accept two per-call rails on a single 402: x402 (USDC on Base mainnet) and MPP (Stripe card via a Shared Payment Token), plus Bearer-token subscription auth for existing API keys. See [/docs/agent-payments](/docs/agent-payments) for the full flow. See [/docs/fields](/docs/fields) for the field glossary and [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for the LLM crawler index.

## Output

Returns structured data with mode-specific fields: for code lookups, a per-state list with benchmark_rate, pct_of_medicare, effective_year, pa_status, and is_bare flags; for state+category queries, aggregate stats including total codes, count requiring prior auth, and median pct_of_medicare. All responses include a citation envelope with source attribution and envelope version for auditability.
