  • Patent number: 11966983
    Abstract: Machine learning models can assess historical insurance claims data and prescription fulfillment records to reduce paybacks to prescription payers in the form of direct and indirect remuneration fees. A pharmacy computer receives prescription data and communicates at least a portion of the prescription data to a pharmacy benefit manager. The pharmacy computer receives a prescription benefit response back at the computerized application from the prescription payer software application. The pharmacy computer is configured to develop machine learning request data, selected from the prescription data and prescription benefit response data, and send the machine learning request data to machine learning software. The machine learning software calculates payback forecast data for the prescription data.

  • Patent number: 11948203
    Abstract: Instances of claim data are received by an apparatus. Each instance of claim data corresponds to an entity. A claim vector is generated for each instance of claim data. The claim vector is added to a group of claim vectors that all correspond to a same entity. Each group of claim vectors is aggregated to generate an entity vector corresponding to the entity. Based at least in part on the entity vector and (a) an entity profile corresponding to the corresponding entity or (b) an entity cluster with which the entity is associated, at least one behavior signal value is determined for the entity. A behavior signal is amended to include the behavior signal value. The behavior signal comprises at least two behavior signal values. Each of the behavior signal values are associated with a different time period. The behavior signal is provided for display and/or further processing.

  • Patent number: 11915321
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage and processing claims associated with an insured item, such as a vehicle. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a user device (e.g., a mobile device). The mobile device may receive feedback from the server regarding the acceptability of submitted photos/video, and if the server determines that any of the submitted photos/video is unacceptable, the mobile device may capture audio descriptions regarding the insured item. To aid in damage analysis, the server may also interface with various internal and external databases storing reference images of undamaged items and cost estimate information for repairing previously analyzed damages to similar items.

  • Patent number: 11836804
    Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-fake packing method for product liability insurance. The method comprises the following steps: providing an anti-fake electronic liability insurance policy for a product; performing coding to the insurance policy; attaching the code to an insurance policy identifier; disposing the identifier on the product; and correspondingly storing the electronic insurance policy, the anti-fake information and the insurance policy number into the database of an insurance policy claiming system. The consumer, when claiming the electronic insurance policy from the policy claiming system using smart phones, unknowingly identifies the genuineness of the insurance policy. According to the method, a high insurance policy claiming rate is transformed into a high anti-fake inspection rate, thereby improving the anti-fake strength and providing a beneficial technical effect desired by domestic and overseas researchers and developers of anti-fake technologies and insurance technologies.

  • Patent number: 11836803
    Abstract: To enable efficient processing of an insurance claim that is submitted by a client, the presently disclosed embodiments include systems and methods that enable an insurance computing system to autonomously assess the risk of fraud associated with a claim by generating a risk score. The risk score may provide an indication of a likelihood of fraud associated with the claim based on similar insurance claims in the same geographical area, client information indicative of a likelihood to commit fraud, and/or a type of the claim. The insurance computing system may compare the risk score with a threshold number, and if the threshold number is exceeded, the insurance computing system may prompt the client to contact a service representative to further process or validate the claim. Otherwise, if the threshold number is not exceeded, the insurance computing system may continue processing the claim autonomously.
