About Loa Healthcare Pricing

Loa Healthcare Pricing is a hosted MCP server for assistants and applications that need U.S. healthcare prices and provider information. Its results label their sources, distinguishing published prices, estimates, and reviewed corrections.

Key features

01Search CPT and HCPCS codes
02Find U.S. providers and hospitals
03Compare hospital and provider prices
04Get pricing estimates and entity profiles
05Inspect price sources and labels
06Submit corrections for review

Use cases

01Find a procedure's billing code
02Compare published prices across hospitals
03Estimate costs using available market data
04Check where a price record came from

MCP support

Exposes healthcare pricing, code search, provider and hospital discovery, entity profiles, and authenticated correction requests to MCP clients. The hosted endpoint uses Streamable HTTP and OAuth for protected tool calls.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details

From the project README

Loa Healthcare Pricing MCP Server

Loa's hosted Model Context Protocol server gives MCP-capable assistants access to source-labeled healthcare pricing, CPT and HCPCS code search, U.S. provider and hospital discovery, and Loa entity profiles.

Remote endpoint

https://www.loacare.com/api/mcp

The hosted server uses Streamable HTTP. Clients should complete the server's advertised OAuth flow when a tool call requires authentication.

Native remote configuration

Use this configuration with clients that support remote MCP server URLs:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loacare": {
      "url": "https://www.loacare.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

For clients that require a local command, use the mcp-remote bridge:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "loacare": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://www.loacare.com/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

See the live MCP documentation for current authentication, rate-limit, and troubleshooting guidance.

Available workflows

The server supports workflows for:

Searching medical procedure billing codes.
Finding U.S. healthcare providers and hospitals.
Resolving source-labeled Loa entity profiles.
Comparing published hospital price-transparency rows and available provider prices.
Explaining price provenance and source labels.
Submitting authenticated provider or hospital corrections for Loa review.

Available tools

The production server currently advertises 12 tools:

search_cpt_codes
suggest_procedures
search_providers
search_hospitals
search_entities
get_entity_profile
get_entity_prices
get_hospital_pricing
get_market_pricing
get_pricing_estimate
explain_price_sources
submit_entity_update_request

The public discovery methods initialize, notifications/initialized, ping, and tools/list can be used without authentication. Tool execution remains OAuth-protected.

Data scope

Loa returns public healthcare pricing and directory data. It does not require or return Protected Health Information. Pricing responses identify their source labels so clients can distinguish hospital machine-readable-file rows, provider-published prices, market estimates, and reviewed corrections.

Registry metadata

server.json is the public metadata submitted to the official MCP Registry under io.github.aanari/loacare-healthcare-pricing.

This repository publishes integration metadata and documentation for Loa's hosted MCP server. The production application source is maintained separately.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
