  • Patent number: 12165209
    Abstract: A method and system for calculating a deficiency analysis that provides a percentage of missing data for an impairment rating based on an observed data set. Comparing an observed data set with an ideal data set based on one or more administrative rule sets for an injury event allows one or more stakeholders within the workers compensation process to obtain a risk score and/or deficiency report for the observed data and the resulting impairment rating. One or more risk scores and/or deficiency reports can be used to track quality and consistency of a clinician and quality and consistency across a medical provider network. After a risk score for an impairment rating is output, the risk score can be uploaded to a historical evaluation database for a percentile creation against other reports of similar body systems.

  • Patent number: 12112382
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for determining valuation and risk analysis of municipal debt instruments on an after-tax basis. In one embodiment, bond terms, yield curve and interest rate volatility data are received for a set of bonds. Additionally, IRS treatment data and applicable tax rates for the set of bonds and a purchaser of the bonds are also received. Theoretical tax-neutral values of the bonds are calculated using a buy-and-hold methodology, wherein the tax-neutral value comprises the price of the at least one municipal debt offering such that its discounted after-tax value equals the price. A theoretical maximum after-tax values of the bonds are also calculated using a recursive valuation path-dependent methodology. Optimal bond management is determined using the calculated theoretical tax-neutral values and maximum after-tax values of the bonds.
