medicare_ncd_search
Pack: medicare-coverage · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/medicare-coverage/mcp
Search current Medicare National Coverage Determinations (NCDs) by title, benefit category, or NCD number. NCDs describe national Medicare policy; they are not individualized coverage guarantees or medical advice.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | yes | Title/topic text or NCD number, e.g. “amyloid” or “220.6.20”. Terms are matched against CMS’s formal titles, which spell acronyms out — search “positron tomography”, not “PET”. |
limit | number | no | Results (1-100, default 25). |
