drug_price_lookup

Look up the live public acquisition cost (CMS NADAC — National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) for a prescription drug in the United States: the per-unit price retail pharmacies actually pay to buy it, by strength, with the effective date. This is the honest baseline for judging what an employer health plan is charged by its PBM. Accepts a brand or generic name (e.g. "Gleevec", "imatinib", "atorvastatin").

Parameters1

drug

string

required

Brand or generic drug name

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "drug": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Brand or generic drug name"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "drug"
  ]
}

drug_search

Search US prescription drugs by full or partial brand/generic name. Returns matching drugs with their generic name and brand names, so you can pick the right one before calling drug_price_lookup or drug_spread_check.

Parameters1

query

string

required

Full or partial drug name (min 2 characters)

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Full or partial drug name (min 2 characters)"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "query"
  ]
}

drug_spread_check

Compare what a US health plan was actually charged for a prescription fill against the live public acquisition cost (CMS NADAC) for the same quantity. Returns the acquisition cost, the amount charged, the gap, and the multiple. Use when someone asks "my plan paid $X for [drug] — is that high?". The gap is not all margin (a dispensing fee and claim administration are legitimate), but on most generics the legitimate part is a few dollars, not hundreds.

Parameters3

drug	string	required	Brand or generic drug name
amount_charged	number	required	What the plan (or member) was charged for the fill, in USD
units	number	optional	Units in the fill (e.g. tablets). Default 30.

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "drug": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Brand or generic drug name"
    },
    "amount_charged": {
      "type": "number",
      "description": "What the plan (or member) was charged for the fill, in USD"
    },
    "units": {

    }
  },
  "required": [
    "drug",
    "amount_charged"
  ]
}

drug_shortages

List current US prescription drug shortages from the FDA Drug Shortage Database (refreshed daily). Optionally filter by drug name or drug class. Returns the generic name, brand names, how long the shortage has been running, and how many manufacturers are affected. Useful for checking whether a drug a plan or patient depends on is in shortage before a refill or formulary decision.

Parameters1

query

string

optional

Optional drug name or class to filter by (omit to list the most recent shortages)

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Optional drug name or class to filter by (omit to list the most recent shortages)"
    }
  }
}

medical_code_lookup

Look up any US medical claim code across all major code sets at once: CPT (with 2025 RVUs), ICD-10-CM diagnoses, HCPCS Level II, MS-DRG payment groups, CARC denial reason codes (accepts EOB formats like CO-45 or PR-1), and place-of-service codes — plus Medicare MUE unit limits and NCCI bundling-edit counts. Official CMS/CDC/X12 data. Use when someone has a code from a medical bill, claim, EOB, or denial letter.

Parameters1

code

string

required

The code, e.g. 99213, E11.9, J1885, 470, or CO-45

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "code": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The code, e.g. 99213, E11.9, J1885, 470, or CO-45"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "code"
  ]
}

drug_info_lookup

Full profile of a US prescription drug by brand or generic name: identity and manufacturer, live CMS NADAC acquisition pricing, Medicare Part D spending and utilization, estimated pricing spread, and active clinical-trial pipeline. Broader than drug_price_lookup — use when someone wants the whole picture of a drug.

Parameters1

drug

string

required

Brand or generic drug name, e.g. Wegovy, metformin

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "drug": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Brand or generic drug name, e.g. Wegovy, metformin"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "drug"
  ]
}

pbm_term_explainer

Plain-English explanation of pharmacy benefit (PBM) contract terms that drive employer plan cost: spread pricing, pass-through pricing, AWP, WAC, NADAC, MAC, rebates, rebate pass-through, effective rate guarantees, lesser-of logic, DIR fees, audit rights. Each explanation includes what to watch for in a contract. Call with a specific term, or without one to list all terms.

Parameters1

term

string

optional

The contract term to explain (optional — omit to list all)

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "term": {

      "description": "The contract term to explain (optional — omit to list all)"
    }
  }
}

renewal_checklist

Generate a dated preparation checklist for an employer pharmacy-benefit (PBM) contract renewal. Given the renewal date, returns what a plan sponsor should request and do at 120, 90, 60, and 30 days out — contract and exhibits, claims data, rebate reconciliation, benchmark review, and the decision record. Deterministic and vendor-neutral.

Parameters1

renewal_date

string

required

Renewal date, ISO format YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2027-01-01)

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
