open_payments_physician

Pack: cms-open-payments · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/open_payments_physician for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Find CMS Open Payments records for a physician/non-physician practitioner by exact NPI in one program year. Returns the authoritative total match count plus a bounded payment sample; reported relationships do not imply misconduct. If you have a name rather than an NPI, resolve it first against the NPPES registry (npi_individual in the clinicaltables pack), or use open_payments_search with recipient_last_name + recipient_first_name.
