| city | No | City to filter by. Matches one exact city only: the value is compared as a city slug (case and punctuation ignored, e.g. 'San Antonio' matches 'san-antonio'); partial names and prefixes do not match. | |
| page | No | Page number for pagination (default 1) | |
| state | No | Two-letter state abbreviation (e.g. 'TX'). Send as `state`, not `state_abbr` (`state_abbr` is an output field name only). National providers always included. | |
| category | Yes | Service category to search. One of the 25 categories: 'Medical Billing & RCM', 'Credentialing Services', 'Healthcare IT & EHR', 'Practice Management Consulting', 'Healthcare Legal Services', 'Healthcare CPA & Tax Advisory', 'Medical Coding Services', 'Healthcare Staffing & Recruiting', 'Healthcare Marketing & Reputation Management', 'Compliance & HIPAA Services', 'Medical Equipment & Supplies', 'Healthcare Real Estate & Site Selection', 'Practice Financing & Loans', 'Healthcare Construction & Facilities', 'Healthcare Signage & Wayfinding', 'Medical Waste & Environmental Services', 'Healthcare Insurance & Malpractice Brokers', 'Practice Valuation & Brokerage', 'Patient Financing & Payment Solutions', 'Medical Transcription & Documentation', 'Pharmacy & Medication Management', 'Telehealth & Virtual Care Infrastructure', 'Laboratory & Diagnostics Services', 'Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs)', 'Healthcare PR & Communications'. Common aliases also resolve (e.g. 'billing', 'RCM', 'EHR', 'credentialing'). Call list_categories for the live list with provider counts. This tool does NOT accept a specialty filter -- use match_practice for specialty-aware ranking. | |
| per_page | No | Results per page (1-25, default 10) | |
| min_rating | No | Minimum profile-completeness score (0-100; how many listing fields are filled in, not a quality or reputation rating). Most providers score 50-85. The parameter is named `min_rating`, not `min_quality_score`. | |
| tier1_grade | No | Filter to the curated Tier-1 provider set by grade: 'A' (top-graded) or 'B' (strong). Tier-1 is a hand-reviewed ~4,400-provider subset; most directory records are not Tier-1, so this narrows results sharply. Omit to search the full directory. | |
| practice_size_fit | No | Filter providers by the practice size they best serve, on the directory's one closed vocabulary: Solo, Small, Mid-size, Large, All. The filter reads the extracted size where one exists and the listing's stated fit otherwise; a listing stating 'Solo/Small' answers both Solo and Small. 'All' means the vendor serves every size -- on listings that were never extracted it is also the default, so it narrows results little. | |
