US Patent:

6341265, Jan 22, 2002

Filed:

Dec 3, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/204886

Inventors:

Wayne A. Provost - Salt Lake City UT
Vaughn C. Cecil - Crossville TN
Brian E. Peterson - Salt Lake City UT

Assignee:

P5 e.Health Services, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT

International Classification:

G06F 1760

US Classification:

705 4, 705 2

Abstract:

Methods and systems for interactively creating and submitting insurance claims and determining whether the submitted claims are in condition for payment by an insurer. A medical technician operating a client computer establishes communication with a remote server. The remote server transmits a claim form to the client computer for display to the medical technician. Using the claim form, the technician enters patient identification information, which is transmitted to the server to determine whether the patient is a beneficiary of an approved insurance plan. If the patient is a beneficiary, the technician can prepare an insurance claim using the claim form displayed by the client computer. The technician enters a diagnosis code and a treatment code representing the diagnosis and treatment of the patient. The diagnosis and treatment codes are transmitted to the remote server, which processes the codes to determine whether the claim corresponds to health care services that are approved for payment. If the insurance claim is not in condition for payment, the medical technician is notified.

International Classification:

G06F 1760

US Classification:

705 4, 705 2

Abstract:

A claims processing system for electronically reviewing and adjudicating medical insurance claims. The claims processing systems include a benefits system, an automated adjudication system, a payment system, and a payment tracking system. The benefits system allows patients and health care providers to access patient and benefits information on-line. Using the automated adjudication system, health care providers may electronically prepare and submit claims for payment. Before a claim is submitted, a claims precheck process is used to determine whether the claim may be automatically adjudicated or instead must be manually adjudicated. If manual adjudication is indicated, the health care provider may the claim in an effort to achieve automated adjudication prior to claim submission. The claims processing system performs automatic adjudication on submitted claims or forwards the claims to a shop for manual adjudication. The payment system initiates payment to the health care provider using electronic funds transfer.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G06Q 10/00
G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 4, 705 2, 705 35

Abstract:

Methods and systems for promptly paying health care providers for rendered health care services. A medical technician operating a client computer establishes communication with a remote server. Using a claim form, the technician enters patient, insurance, and treatment information which is transmitted to the server to determine whether the claim is eligible for advance payment. If the claim is eligible, the server transmits claim information to an appropriate carrier for claim processing. The remote server also transmits claim information to a payment entity which requests from a financial entity that funds be credited to an operational account and a reserve account. The funds of the operational account are immediately accessible to the health care provider. The funds of the reserve account are debited for expenses. When the carrier finally processes the claim, any payment for the claim is deposited into the reserve account.

Abstract:

Apparatus, methods, and systems for centrally and uniformly controlling the operation of a variety of devices, such as communication, consumer electronic, audio-video, analog, digital, 1394, and the like, over a variety of protocols within a network system and, more particularly, a control system and uniform user interface for centrally controlling these devices in a manner that appears seamless and transparent to the user. In a preferred embodiment, a command center or hub of a network system includes a context and connection permutation sensitive control system that enables centralized and seamless integrated control of all types of input devices. The control system preferably includes a versatile icon based graphical user interface that provides a uniform, on-screen centralized control system for the network system. The user interface, which includes a visual recognition system, enables the user to transparently control multiple input devices over a variety of protocols while operating on a single control layer of an input command device. In an alternative embodiment, the control system also enables gated signal pass-through control while avoiding signal jamming.
