  • Patent number: 10594866
    Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligently routing a member of an organization to a single point-of-contact within an optimized, secure network to address all the member's healthcare needs are described. The disclosed intelligent routing configurations transform and process, in real-time, vast amounts of member data to generate aggregated diagnoses and a member score specific to each member's household. The scores, among other things, are used to determine an identification of special needs and an appropriate advocate within the organization to route the member, and its account file containing real-time member and household level data.

  • Patent number: 10566086
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10346863
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method for activation-based marketing are presented. In one embodiment, the system includes one or more data storage devices configured to store demographic data, healthcare utilization data, and response data associated with a target individual. The system may include a server coupled to the one or more data storage devices. The server may be suitably programmed to determine a life stage associated with a target individual, determine an attitudinal segment associated with the target individual, and determine a response model associated with the target individual. The server may assign the target individual to at least one of a predetermined set of segmentation groups in response to the life stage, the attitudinal segment, and the response model associated with the individual. The system may generate a personalized communication modality tailored to the target individual in response to the segmentation group assigned to the target individual.

  • Patent number: 9940361
    Abstract: A method for directing inquiries to available subject matter experts includes storing an expert database in memory and defining presence states to describe present attributes of each subject matter expert with respect to a number of resource elements. Inquiries are directed to the experts, and response histograms are populated based on whether a response was obtained in a given presence state. The response histograms describe or define a response probability for each subject matter expert, as a function of the corresponding present attributes for each of the resource elements.
