  • Publication number: 20140297298
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adjusting secondary benefit levels for healthcare transactions for which primary benefits were previously rejected for lack of prior authorization by a primary payor. A healthcare transaction may be received from a primary payor computer. The transaction may include patient information, loyalty card information, a request for healthcare benefits, and a refill request for a prescribed medication or service. The administrator computer can determine the transaction is approved by the primary payor computer. The transaction can include a designation of a primary benefit from the primary payor.
