# searchGbaBenefitAssessments

**Identifier:** `gba_searchGbaBenefitAssessments`

**Provider:** [G-BA - Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss](https://kirha.com/providers/gba.md)

Search German G-BA early benefit assessment decisions (AMNOG, § 35a SGB V) by active substance (INN), trade name, ATC code, indication, added-benefit category and decision date. Returns, for each decision, the added-benefit category and certainty per patient group vs the appropriate comparator therapy. Use the decisionIds with getGbaBenefitAssessment for endpoint results and G-BA's reasons. Only decisions still in force are covered (repealed or superseded ones are dropped by G-BA); indication texts are in German, and substance matching tolerates English INN spelling (semaglutide finds Semaglutid). Prefer atcCode for cross-country joins.

## Run it with the CLI

```bash
kirha tools run gba_searchGbaBenefitAssessments \
  --input '{}'
```

`--input` takes a JSON object that matches the input schema. Pass `--input -` to read it from stdin.

## Call it over HTTP

```bash
curl https://api.kirha.com/tools/v1/execute \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: **********' \
  --data '{
  "tool_name": "gba_searchGbaBenefitAssessments",
  "input": {}
}'
```

Replace the stars with an API key from https://app.kirha.com/api-keys.
