What AI agents can do with HealthCare.gov 11 Tools for ACA Plan Research

Use these 11 tools to find plans, check drug coverage, and verify provider networks directly from the Marketplace API.

Get counties by zip

Get the County FIPS code for any ZIP code. This helps ensure your pricing data is accurate for the right region.

Get plan crosswalk

See how plans transition between different years. This is useful for tracking coverage changes over time.

Get drug coverage

Check if a specific medication is covered by a selected plan. It also tells you which tier the drug falls under.

Get api metadata

Get technical details about the Marketplace API data. Use this to understand the structure of the information you're pulling.

Get plan details

Get deep info on a specific health plan. This is the go-to for seeing every detail of a single policy.

Get provider coverage

Check if a specific doctor or facility is in-network for a plan. This prevents patients from getting hit with surprise bills.

List issuers

See all the insurance companies operating in a specific state. It helps you understand the local competitive landscape.

Search drugs

Search the marketplace drug database for medications. Use this to find the correct name for a drug before checking coverage.

List market states

A Connector is a URL. Vinkius runs it: hosting, security, governance, observability.

You're looking at one of 5,800+ managed Connectors. The real value isn't the catalog. It's the control plane that secures, governs, audits, and manages every interaction between your agents and the tools they use.

01

No Shadow AI

Every agent action is visible, approved, and auditable. Nothing runs outside your governance.

02

Absolute agent control

Fine-grained permissions for every agent, MCP, and tool. Instantly revoke access and audit every execution.

03

Cost control per token

Spend broken down to the token, tool, and agent. Budgets and hard limits. No surprise invoices.

04

Managed & monitored infra

We operate the runtime, authentication, scaling, retries, and monitoring. Your team manages AI, not infrastructure.

05

Data protection, DLP by design

Sensitive data is filtered before reaching the model. Access is governed so agents receive only the information they're allowed to use.

06

Token optimization, real savings

Lower AI costs by delivering the right context instead of unnecessary tools. Better accuracy, faster responses, and fewer wasted tokens.
