Pack: medicare-pricing · 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/medicare_lab_test_lookup for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Resolve a branded molecular or genomic lab test by its commercial name (e.g. Signatera, Guardant360 CDx, FoundationOne CDx, FoundationOne Liquid CDx, Tempus xT CDx, DecisionDx-Melanoma, Envisia, Shield) to its CPT PLA / HCPCS billing code, the lab that runs it, what Medicare pays for it now on the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, and the MolDX local coverage determinations (LCDs) and billing-and-coding articles for its test category. Answers “what does Medicare pay for Signatera”, “what is the PLA code for Guardant360”, “which MolDX LCD covers this test”. Also accepts a lab name (e.g. “Natera”) or a code. Covers the tests on the CMS list of Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory Tests (ADLTs), the only public list that ties a test’s brand name to its code; a test not on it returns not_found with the reason. Sourced from CMS (ADLT list, Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, Medicare Coverage Database).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`test`	string	yes	The test’s brand or commercial name (“Signatera”, “Guardant360 CDx”), the lab (“Natera”), or its code (“0340U”).
`include_retired`	boolean	no	Also list retired LCDs/articles for the test category (default false). Contractors re-issue MolDX policies under new numbers, so an older citation may be a retired document.
