FAQ

Questions HHS Open Payments owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I search for a specific doctor by name to see their financial records?

    Yes! Use the search_physicians capability with the doctor's name. The agent will return matching profiles and their associated payment data from the Open Payments database.

  • 02

    How do I filter data for a specific state or payment amount?

    You can use the query_dataset capability and provide a SoQL filter in the where parameter (e.g., recipient_state = 'NY' or total_amount_of_payment_usdollars > 1000).

  • 03

    What formats can I use to download the datasets?

    The download_dataset capability supports 'csv', 'json', and 'xml' formats. JSON is generally recommended for programmatic access and AI analysis.
