This server provides tools to access live US healthcare cost data, provider pricing, insurance coverage rules, and medical bill analysis, grounded in real hospital transparency and CMS data.

• Demo & Connectivity Check — Run demo_estimate (no API key needed) to verify connectivity using a static sample estimate.

• Procedure Resolution — Use resolve_procedure to fuzzy-match free-text procedure names (e.g., "knee mri") to canonical slugs with confidence scores.

• Procedure Cost Estimation — Use estimate_procedure_cost to get allowed-amount ranges (low/median/high), billing components, risk flags, and optional patient out-of-pocket based on deductible, coinsurance, and OOP max.

• Insurance Liability Calculation — Use calculate_liability for exact insurance math given an allowed amount and plan details, returning patient responsibility and plan payment breakdown.

• Full Bundled Estimate — Use full_estimate to get procedure ontology + cost + providers + patient liability in a single API call.

• Provider Search — Use find_providers to locate providers for a procedure in a state, with real negotiated prices (observed) or estimates, and optional city-level clustering.

• Provider Lookup — Use get_provider to retrieve a provider's public profile by 10-digit NPI number.

• Procedure Catalog — Use list_procedures to browse 30 procedures with slugs, display names, categories, and CPT codes.

• Procedure Details — Use get_procedure_details for structured knowledge about a procedure: billing rules (facts), expected separate bills (bundle), or full ontology.

• Insurance Coverage Rules — Use get_coverage to retrieve coverage rules for a procedure/carrier combination by aspect: summary, prior-auth, cost-sharing, frequency, or billing triggers.

• Carrier Listing — Use list_carriers to see all supported insurance carrier keys (aetna, cigna, bcbs, medicare, etc.).

• Medical Bill Analysis (Pro) — Use analyze_bill to detect anomalies in bill line items (duplicate charges, unbundling, quantity errors), returning a risk score, flags, and a consumer-language summary — stateless, no patient identity required.
