Patent number: 11379794Abstract: A drug dispensing system includes fulfillment stations that are each characterized by a set of dispensary attributes. The fulfillment stations each, in response to receiving a first order message including a first unique drug identifier, fill a container with pills matching the first unique drug identifier. A routing determination module, for each order message corresponding to a prescription order, selects one of the fulfillment stations based on compatibility between dispensary attributes for the selected fulfillment station and dispensation preferences related to the order message and transmits the order message to the selected fulfillment station. An order status subsystem conditionally sends a cancellation instruction relating to one of the order messages to the respective fulfillment station to cancel dispensing of pills.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Express Scripts Strategic Development, Inc.Inventors: Charles E.

Patent number: 11309075Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to electronically generate an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 835 transmission to test 835 processing systems. EDI 835 transmissions include vast amounts of data that are input into the transmission in a unique way. If even one space is off, the 835 transmission will not be correctly processed and may be kicked back by the system. This has serious consequences as it may result in incorrect or non-recording of a payment on a claim. Unfortunately, most systems are not tested for 835 processing capabilities before going live due to the time intensive nature of generating 835 transmissions for testing. The present application describes an innovative way to electronically generate 835 transmissions.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Leo P.
