`medicare_lab_test_lookup`

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. Also covers non-ADLT branded MAAA tests (Oncotype DX, Prosigna, MammaPrint, EndoPredict, Breast Cancer Index, Cologuard, Prolaris, Decipher, Afirma, ConfirmMDx, 4Kscore) and any test whose lab registered its code in the NCBI Genetic Testing Registry. Resolves in order: the CMS list of Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory Tests (ADLTs), a brand-to-code table of MAAA tests with MolDX billing articles, then NCBI GTR live; a test found in none returns brand_not_found naming every source checked. Sourced from CMS (ADLT list, Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, Medicare Coverage Database) and NCBI GTR.

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.
