## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-28.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 61/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1603 tokens (~320/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `check_price` (~435 tokens)

Compare a charge with Medicare's rate for one service

Compare a charge with Medicare's rate for one service. Use when someone asks whether a charge is high or what Medicare pays, for example "I was charged $450 for a 99213 office visit in Texas, is that too high?" or "what does Medicare pay for an MRI of the knee?". Pass the billing code if they have it, otherwise the service in plain words as q. Returns Medicare's 2026 rate for the state (or the city's own pricing area when city is given) in medicare_2026, the amount providers typically billed in 2024, and how many times the Medicare rate the charge is. For care in a hospital, hospital_facility_2026 gives Medicare's national rate for the hospital's own facility fee and comparison.compared_with says what the charge was set against. Dental work has no Medicare rate and returns 404 with a pointer to a free dental cost source

Input parameters:

- `billed_by` (string): Whose bill the charge is on when the service was in a hospital: hospital (the hospital's own facility charge) or doctor (the doctor's or physician group's bill). Leave out if not known: the charge is…
- `charged` (number): The amount on the bill in US dollars, like 450.
- `city` (string): City, for states where Medicare pays big cities differently, like Houston, Chicago, Miami or Los Angeles. Other places use the rest-of-state rate.
- `code` (string): Five-character CPT or HCPCS code from the bill, like 99213, 73721 or G0121.
- `q` (string): The service in plain words, used when there is no code, like "knee MRI" or "ER visit".
- `setting` (string): office (clinic, office, imaging center) or facility (hospital or surgery center). Leave out to use the usual setting.
- `state` (string): US state name or two-letter code, like Texas or TX. Med Bill Check is for US bills; a UK place gets a short answer pointing to UK sources.

### `search_services` (~123 tokens)

Find billing codes and Medicare rates by plain words

Find billing codes and Medicare rates by plain words. Use when someone describes a service but has no code, or asks what a code means, for example "what's the code for a colonoscopy?", "how much does Medicare pay for a chest x-ray in Ohio?" or "what is code 99214?". Returns up to eight matching codes with Medicare's typical allowed and billed amounts

Input parameters:

- `q` (string, required): Plain words or a code, like "hernia repair" or 99214.
- `state` (string): US state name or two-letter code.

### `check_whole_bill` (~329 tokens)

Check several lines of an itemized bill at once

Check several lines of an itemized bill at once. Use when someone reads out or pastes several lines from an itemized bill, for example "my ER bill has 99284 for $2,500, 85025 twice for $120 and 36415 three times, does anything look off?". Pass the lines as code, optional x and units, then the amount. Returns each line against Medicare's rate, totals, and questions_to_ask: repeated codes, units above Medicare's automated daily limit, the highest visit levels, hospital clinic facility fees and charges far above what providers typically bill. Lines of a hospital bill (any bill with an ER visit on it, or setting=facility) are compared with Medicare's hospital outpatient rate plus the doctor's part; each such line says compared_with.

Input parameters:

- `billed_by` (string): Whose bill the charge is on when the service was in a hospital: hospital (the hospital's own facility charge) or doctor (the doctor's or physician group's bill). Leave out if not known: the charge is…
- `city` (string): City, for big cities with their own Medicare rates.
- `lines` (string, required): Up to 15 bill lines separated by commas: code, then x and units if more than one, then the amount. Example: 99284:2500, 85025x2:120, 36415:45.
- `setting` (string): office or facility. Leave out if not known.
- `state` (string): US state name or two-letter code.

### `look_up_hospital` (~147 tokens)

Whether a hospital is nonprofit, for financial assistance

Whether a hospital is nonprofit, for financial assistance. Use for "is St. Luke's in Boise a nonprofit?" or "does this hospital have to offer charity care?". Returns how Medicare lists the hospital's ownership (nonprofit, government, for-profit), its city and main phone number, and what that means for financial assistance. Nonprofit hospitals must have a financial assistance policy.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): City, to pick between hospitals with the same name.
- `name` (string, required): Hospital name as on the bill, like St. Luke's Regional Medical Center.
- `state` (string): US state name or two-letter code. Recommended, since many hospitals share names.

### `draft_bill_letter` (~408 tokens)

Draft a letter to a billing office for the user to send

Draft a letter to a billing office for the user to send. Use for "help me dispute this bill", "write a letter asking for an itemized bill", "can I ask for a discount?" or "how do I apply for charity care?". Returns a letter as plain text with [brackets] for anything not given, tips, and the user's No Surprises Act and Good Faith Estimate rights with official CMS links. It never sends anything.

Input parameters:

- `account` (string): Account or invoice number on the bill.
- `amount` (number): Amount charged or balance due, in US dollars.
- `billed_by` (string): Whose bill the charge is on when the service was in a hospital: hospital (the hospital's own facility charge) or doctor (the doctor's or physician group's bill). Leave out if not known: the charge is…
- `code` (string): Billing code of the charge. With amount, a dispute letter adds Medicare's benchmark (for a hospital charge, the hospital outpatient rate as well as the doctor's part).
- `date` (string): Date of service.
- `insured` (string): no if paying without insurance (self-pay), for a discount letter.
- `name` (string): Patient or account holder name.
- `provider` (string): Hospital, clinic or provider name.
- `reason` (string): A sentence on what the user wants checked, for a dispute letter.
- `service` (string): The service in plain words.
- `setting` (string): office or facility (hospital or surgery center), for the benchmark in a dispute letter. ER visits and hospital clinic visits count as facility anyway.
- `state` (string): US state, used for the benchmark in a dispute letter.
- `type` (string, required): itemized (ask for an itemized bill), dispute (ask for a charge to be reviewed), discount (prompt-pay or self-pay discount), or assistance (financial assistance or charity care).
