Appl. No.:

10/337366

Inventors:

Kenneth J. Brown - Yorktown Heights NY, US
William D. Tobin - Franklin Lakes NJ, US

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00
G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 2, 705 4

Abstract:

A system for constructing formularies is disclosed. The system includes a central computer system and at least one additional computer. The central computer system compiles a list of various pharmaceutical products and sorts them into different categories based on predetermined relational characteristics. The relational characteristics are based on therapeutic classifications of the pharmaceutical products, which in turn share these relational characteristics. Formularies are then created by selecting individual products and/or categories of products that the formularies would support. When prescription claims are received, coverage is either accepted or denied based on whether the products in die prescription claims are covered by the formulary.

International Classification:

G06Q 99/00

US Classification:

705 1, 705 14, 705 27, 715500

Abstract:

The present server based communications system provides dynamic customization of hypertext tagged documents presented to clients accessing the system. The customization, which pertains to the content of the documents, is based on the specific requirements of a class to which the client belongs to. The class may be defined by the identity of the source which refers the client to the system. The system utilizes a database which dynamically retrieves stored data in response to a server software tool which configures the data into hypertext tagged documents. The system utilizes a dynamic token scheme to pass the identity of the referring network site from document to document to eventual purchase document accessed by the client through the hypertext tags.

Abstract:

An apparatus and method are disclosed for defining and managing clinical rules. A computer system provides access to administrators for defining and entering the details of clinical rules for various clients. The administrator selects the prescription products, or medication, for which the clinical rule will apply. The administrator also specifies the coverage criteria to be used for approving coverage of the prescription products. When a prescription claim is submitted to the computer system, the appropriate clinical rule is selected and applied to determine if the cost of the prescription product should be covered.
