TPP documentation

Research workflows

Choose the tool that answers the person's question, then preserve its evidence and next action.

Browse or rank plans

Use search_medicare_advantage_plans or search_part_d_plans to browse availability. Use the corresponding rank_ tool when personalized ranking is requested. A catalog's sort order is not a personalized recommendation.

Ask only for missing inputs. Confirm ambiguous location and identity choices, and retain the returned continuation context. Use the requested supported coverage year or disclose the serving year returned by the tool. Do not mix years.

Check doctors

Use find_medicare_doctors to identify a doctor and office. Use check_my_doctors_in_plan_network for a chosen plan, or find_medicare_plans_for_my_doctors for doctor-first plan comparison.

Directory-listed participation, verified evidence, and exact-office uncertainty are different. Missing evidence does not establish out-of-network status. Hospital identification does not establish hospital network coverage.

Check prescriptions

Use find_medication to resolve an exact medication. Use check_plan_drug_coverage for a chosen plan's published formulary, compare_plan_drug_costs for its supported pharmacy-savings workflow, or rank_part_d_plans for personalized standalone Part D ranking.

Preserve quantity, days supply, pharmacy choice, the estimate's time horizon, and fallback or missing-price warnings. An unavailable price is not free medication.

Explain Medicare or find media coverage

Use search_tpp_content and get_tpp_content. Article text is an educational source, not live plan evidence. Attribute newsroom reporting to its original publisher and TPP summaries to TPP.
