Loa Healthcare Pricing missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 12

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

entity

get_entity_prices

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Get source-labeled prices by Loa listing slug; use search_entities to resolve it first. Missing CPT prices return explicit unavailable rows.

get_entity_profile

Get a hospital or provider profile by exact Loa slug or ID, with field provenance. On request, offer correction_url for corrections plus optional affiliation verification, or claim_url for affiliation only. Both forms allow intake without an account; dashboard access requires verification. Use the exact loa_link.label.

compare

compare_local_prices

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Compare hospitals near a ZIP by price or distance for a code from search_cpt_codes. Lead with answer: lowest cash, insurer comparison, verdict, follow-up, and search link. Its prices are single published prices; options use hospital medians. Without insurer, compare cash; with insurer, compare negotiated rates, not personal out-of-pocket costs. Preserve sources, dates, included fees, caveats, and each hospital’s city/state. Rank before limiting; missing matching prices are null and last. Do not send patient identifiers.

cpt

search_cpt_codes

Find procedures by everyday name or billing code. Follow decision: clarify important variants before pricing; never choose a clinical default.

entities

search_entities

Find Loa hospital and provider listings by name or state. Resolve the exact slug before profile, price, or source lookups.

explain

explain_price_sources

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Explain only the returned source labels, counts, confidence, and caveats. Separate available prices from unavailable placeholders; if none are available, say so without inventing prices or source categories.

hospital

get_hospital_pricing

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Get source-labeled Published MRF prices and Loa Verified Provider Price overlays for named hospitals and CPT codes. Cash is self-pay, list is the gross charge before discounts, and insurer rates are not personal out-of-pocket costs; missing prices are null.

hospitals

search_hospitals

Find hospitals by name or location, with addresses, contact details, and IDs for get_hospital_pricing.

market

get_market_pricing

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Benchmark statewide or national cash, list, and insurer prices; each hospital counts once. Lead with median and p25–p75, report limitations, and never fill insufficient_data gaps. These are not ZIP-local quotes or personal out-of-pocket costs.

pricing

get_pricing_estimate

U.S. care only, for users anywhere. For non-U.S. care, explain coverage without calling this tool or substituting U.S. prices. Estimate median cash prices and typical ranges (25th–75th percentile) for CPT codes, statewide by ZIP or nationally. Report missingCodes and insufficient_data without inventing prices; totals require data for every code. Use get_market_pricing for insurer benchmarks or get_hospital_pricing for named hospitals.

providers

search_providers

Find clinicians and healthcare organizations in the CMS NPI Registry by name, specialty, or location. Returns directory details, not prices.

submit

submit_entity_update_request

Submit a pending listing or price correction for Loa review. Requires sign-in, not a claimed listing; stores business contact details and public evidence. Patient data is unsupported. Does not publish changes, verify affiliation, or grant dashboard access. Website correction and claim links come from get_entity_profile.

Loa Healthcare Pricing — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Loa Healthcare Pricing do?

It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_local_prices, explain_price_sources, get_entity_prices, get_entity_profile, get_hospital_pricing, get_market_pricing and 6 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Loa Healthcare Pricing working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 495 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Loa Healthcare Pricing ever remove tools?

Yes. suggest_procedures is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Loa Healthcare Pricing?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Loa Healthcare Pricing need an API key?

No. Loa Healthcare Pricing completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Loa Healthcare Pricing?

It answers our handshake in 495 ms on average, which is faster than 25% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Loa Healthcare Pricing open source?

We cannot say either way: 1 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
