medicare_ncd_searchANSWERS "does Medicare cover X" / "is X covered by Medicare" / "what is Medicare's coverage policy for X" — searches current Medicare National Coverage Determinations (NCDs), the national policy documents that say whether Medicare covers a drug, device, procedure or therapy. Search by everyday prod…medicare_ncd_detailRetrieve one official Medicare National Coverage Determination by CMS document ID and optional version, including covered indications, limitations, effective dates, benefit category, and revision text.medicare_lcd_searchSearch current final Medicare Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs), optionally restricted to a state. LCDs are contractor- and jurisdiction-specific and can differ across locations.medicare_lcd_detailRetrieve one Medicare LCD by document ID and version. Detailed LCD text requires a CMS license-agreement bearer token because documents may contain licensed AMA/ADA/AHA material; pass _licenseToken obtained directly from CMS after accepting those terms.medicare_nca_searchSearch National Coverage Analyses (NCAs) and Coverage Analyses for Labs (CALs), including open and completed CMS evidence reviews. An open analysis is a policy process, not a coverage decision.medicare_nca_detailRetrieve one CMS National Coverage Analysis by document ID, including request, issue, benefit category, dates, decision memo, and public-comment status when supplied by CMS.medicare_recent_coverage_changesRecently published or updated national Medicare coverage documents from CMS, including NCDs, NCAs, CALs, MEDCAC meetings, and technology assessments.medicare_coverage_statesList CMS Coverage API state identifiers used to scope local Medicare coverage searches.medicare_article_code_profileRetrieve one CMS Medicare Coverage Article with its CPT/HCPCS codes and contractor records. Licensed AMA/ADA/AHA content requires a caller-provided CMS license token. Code inclusion describes billing guidance, not guaranteed coverage or payment.medicare_local_coverage_variationCompare final LCD search matches across 1–15 states and Medicare Administrative Contractors. Different matching document counts or titles are policy signals, not proof of unequal beneficiary access or payment.medicare_coverage_timelineRetrieve official CMS version or revision history for a Medicare NCD, NCA, CAL, or LCD. Accepts either identifier CMS publishes for a coverage document: the public one that appears in the policy text and in every citation of it — an NCD section number such as 310.1 or 90.2, an NCA/CAL tracking numb…medicare_hcpcs_utilization_trendShow annual Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners national utilization and payment metrics for one HCPCS code. Claims are fee-for-service aggregates with suppression and methodology limits; they do not measure total US use, coverage, demand, or company revenue.- +15 more on the listing page

pa_required_checkCheck whether a HCPCS code is on the CMS Required Prior Authorization List (42 CFR 414.234). Returns paRequired flag, category, nationwide-since date, and list version. Original Medicare FFS scope. Free, no API key required.denial_code_infoExplain a DME claim denial code (CARC). Returns title, meaning, common DME causes, fixes, appealability, and related codes. Free, no API key required.code_lookup_basicLook up basic metadata for a medical code: code, codeType, description, category, isActive. Basic metadata only — the paid code_lookup adds full metadata. Free, no API key required.reimbursement_basicLook up Medicare payment for a code. Returns the national PFS facility and non-facility payment (CMS RVU × conversion factor) for professional services, plus DMEPOS fee-schedule ranges (rental/purchase, min–max across state fees) for DME items like E/K/L codes. Free, no API key required.order_readiness_checklistBlank pre-delivery checklist for a HCPCS DMEPOS code: the universal standard written order (SWO) elements (42 CFR 410.38(d)), whether the code requires a face-to-face encounter and written order prior to delivery (F2F/WOPD), and whether it is on the Medicare Required Prior Authorization List. Requirement definitions only — PHI-free, never send patient data. Free, no API key required.modifier_advisorEditorial guidance on DMEPOS billing modifiers: the KX/GA/GY/GZ medical-necessity and liability family, RR/NU/UE rental-vs-purchase, capped-rental month markers (KH/KI/KJ), and RT/LT laterality. Pass a HCPCS code to scope guidance to that item's DMEPOS category, or a category directly; add a scenario phrase (e.g., "ABN on file", "bilateral") to surface the relevant modifiers. Original editorial content, not payer policy. PHI-free. Free, no API key required.code_lookupLook up a medical code (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS). Returns description, category, active status, and related codes. For DMEPOS (HCPCS) codes it also returns a labeled fee schedule: per-modifier (RR/NU/UE) national min–max ranges, or — when a state is given — that state's exact non-rural and rural rates. Source: CMS DMEPOS Fee Schedule (DME26-B).code_lookup_batchLook up a list of medical codes (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS) in one call. Per-item results mirror code_lookup (description, category, active status, related codes, DMEPOS fee schedule with optional state filter). Priced per code — $0.001 × number of codes, max 25 per call; the full charge is refunded automatically when every code misses.code_suggestSuggest ICD-10/CPT/HCPCS codes from a clinical description. Term-based search over the 90K-code CMS database, ranked by matched-term coverage and relevance. Works with natural sentences ("patient with obstructive sleep apnea prescribed CPAP"). Automatically refunds the call when nothing matches.code_validateValidate a medical code for correctness, active status, and context. Returns warnings and errors.code_validate_batchValidate a list of medical codes for correctness, active status, and optional date-of-service context in one call. Per-item results mirror code_validate (valid, active, warnings, errors, codeDetails). Priced per code — $0.005 × number of codes, max 25 per call. An invalid code is a billable answer (valid:false), same as the single validate.pa_predictPrior-authorization outlook for a procedure code. When a historical cohort of decided PAs exists (≥10), returns a data-driven approval rate with cohort size and confidence. When no cohort exists, returns the verifiable facts instead — CMS Required Prior Authorization List status, category, and published review timeframes — and explicitly reports that no probability was computed (the call is refunded on this path). Never fabricates a probability. Original Medicare FFS scope.- +20 more on the listing page
