  • Patent number: 10665333
    Abstract: A comprehensive patient data assessment system and method for use in generating, tracking and analyzing medical data related to healthcare administered by a group of physicians to a specified patient population. The system is operative to track data related to the claims history, case management, pharmacy data, and lab tests/results for each patient treated by each patient's primary care physician preferably through electronic medical records that are accessible over a computer network. The system is operative to generate data indicative of the utilization of healthcare resources utilized to treat each patient within the patient population, as well as ensure that each primary care physician utilizes appropriate codes for each diagnosis and procedure/test administered to each patient. The system further provides for categorization of patients afflicted with chronic conditions that require high-cost care.

  • Publication number: 20140207496
    Abstract: A method of establishing a referral network for the enrollment of individuals in a geriatric healthcare insurance plan comprising identifying an age-eligible population; developing and implementing recruiting strategies to establish a relationship with the age-eligible population; and generating potential members from the age-eligible population for enrollment in a geriatric healthcare insurance plan as senior class members; and engaging senior class members to become ambassadors that represent the geriatric healthcare insurance plan to other potential members. Ambassadors may be remunerated under an incentive program which pays a predetermined bonus for every potential member that enrolls in the geriatric healthcare insurance plan due to the direct or indirect participation of the ambassador prior to the potential member's actual enrollment.
