Abstract: A system and method for providing healthcare claims assistance whereby a given healthcare service consumer's healthcare services data relating to a given healthcare service item is obtained and is translated into a description of the services in language, and/or a format, that a typical healthcare service consumer can understand. The healthcare service consumer's healthcare services data is also used to present the healthcare service consumer with a payment calculation display and an explanation of how the healthcare service consumer's portion of the claim amount was calculated. The healthcare services consumer is then provided advice on who to contact and/or how to proceed to resolve any perceived errors and/or obtain more detailed information.

Abstract: A method for managing insurance claim data across insurance policies involves identifying a first insurance claim data and a second insurance claim data using pattern recognition on multiple insurance claim data associated with an insured party, where the first insurance claim data and the second insurance claim data are associated with a single insurance claim of the insured party, where the first insurance claim data is further associated with a first insurance policy, and where the second insurance claim data is further associated with a second insurance policy. The method further involves determining a financial responsibility of the insured party for the single insurance claim based on the first insurance claim data and the second insurance claim data, and presenting the financial responsibility in a graphical user interface (GUI).

Abstract: A method for managing insurance claim data involves identifying a first insurance claim data and a second insurance claim data using pattern recognition on multiple insurance claim data associated with an insured party, where the first insurance claim data and the second insurance claim data are associated with a single insurance claim associated with the insured party, where the second insurance claim data is later in time than the first insurance claim data, and where the second insurance claim data includes a modification of the single insurance claim relative to the first insurance claim data. The method further involves determining a financial responsibility of the insured party for the single insurance claim based on the second insurance claim data, and presenting the first insurance claim data, the second insurance claim data, and the financial responsibility in a graphical user interface (GUI).
