## 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 taiwan-nhi-healthcare-navigator-b70882d4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I just moved to Taipei for work and need to see a cardiologist — can you tell me which NHI-contracted hospitals in Taipei offer cardiology, what my copay would be if I go without a referral, and whether I qualify for NHI coverage right away given I'm employed?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative Taiwan NHI-specific information: institution lookup by county/specialty, copay cost navigation by facility tier, or eligibility assessment including the 6-month rule and employment exceptions. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured, up-to-date NHI data without having to parse government websites. Not suitable for medical diagnosis, doctor recommendations, or English-language capability checks at clinics.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized county name returns empty institution list
- Unsupported specialty query may yield no results
- Missing required body fields returns validation error
- Ambiguous eligibility scenarios may return general guidance rather than a definitive answer
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before endpoint executes

## How this service works

Taiwan healthcare navigator: NHI-contracted institutions by county/specialty, current copay by facility tier and referral status, and NHI eligibility (the 6-month rule and its no-wait exceptions for employed and professional-talent-act cases). Routes to care and explains cost, not medical advice: no diagnosis, no doctor recommendation. English-language capability at a clinic is not an official NHIA field and is never reported here.

## Output

Returns a structured response containing NHI-contracted healthcare institutions filtered by county and specialty, copay amounts broken down by facility tier (clinic, regional hospital, medical center) and referral status, and NHI eligibility guidance covering the 6-month rule and exceptions for employed workers and Professional Innovation Act holders. Does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or doctor recommendations.
