Abstract: This application provides a computer-implemented method for providing notifications. The method includes creating and storing a geofenced area associated with a mobile device and a location that has a healthcare facility in a data store and outputting a notification to the mobile device when the mobile device is within the geofenced area. The notification may include that the location offers at least one healthcare service that can be received on an unscheduled basis, where in the facility that the at least one healthcare service is offered, whether or not the healthcare service is covered by a patient's insurance, the cost of the healthcare service, the out-of-pocket cost by the patient of the healthcare service, wait time at the facility for the healthcare service, and when the patient should not receive the healthcare service for other medical reasons.

Abstract: A method for providing notifications to a patient associated with a mobile device is provided. The method includes receiving and storing information related to a scheduled visit to the healthcare services facility, determining a first notification based upon the information related to the scheduled visit, and outputting the first notification to the mobile device. The first notification is further based upon the medical history of the patient, the insurance network of the patient, where the patient lives and works, the price information of the healthcare service being performed for the patient, preferences of the patient, the knowledge and skill and self-confidence of the patient to manage healthcare, and the location of the healthcare services facility and patient and a geofenced area indicating that the patient is in close proximity to the healthcare services facility when entered into by the mobile device associated with the patient.

Abstract: This application provides a computer-implemented method for providing notifications. The method includes a) creating a geofenced area associated with a mobile device and a healthcare facility, wherein the patient is associated with the mobile device, b) storing the geofenced area in a data store, c) determining when the mobile device has crossed or entered the geofenced area during an unscheduled visit to the healthcare facility by the patient, d) sending a notification to or retrieving the notification from the mobile device, wherein the notification includes the medical history of the patient, the type of healthcare facility associated with the geofenced area, the insurance network of the patient, the medical providers practicing at the healthcare facility, wait times at the healthcare facility, and the proximity to other healthcare facilities, and e) outputting the notification to the mobile device when mobile device is within the geofenced area.
