Patent number: 10566086Abstract: Healthcare costs accumulated across a plurality of claims systems are managed using a centralized accumulator, which receives cost accumulator data for adjudicated claims from multiple sending claim systems. An accumulator record type is identified from the cost accumulator data and used to generate a cross-reference record. The record type includes an adjudicated claim. A routing message is generated for at least one receiving claim system according to the identified accumulator record type, the cost accumulator data received from the sending claim system, and an identity of the at least one receiving claim system. In response to sending the routing message to the receiving claim system, an acknowledgement is received, which is used to update the cross-reference record by the processor.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: UNITEDHEALTH GROUP INCORPORATEDInventor: Thomas E.
