According to an exemplary embodiment, the payments (26) include a consolidated financial instrument (73) and at least one explanation of explanation of benefit (75) associated with the consolidated financial instrument. The consolidated financial instrument (73) transfers accumulated monies without co-mingling funds in compliance with ERISA regulations. According to an exemplary embodiment, the at least one associated explanation of benefit (75) includes a patient identification, a payer identification, a service provider identification, a date of service, a service identification, a patient obligation, and an amount paid. Acceptance of the payment to each payee is recorded (100) in a data store (102).

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of providing a complete payment of a medical claim to a medical service provider. According to an exemplary embodiment, multiple insurer/employer payer processers each provide funds associated with an insurer's/employer's portion of a claim and funds associated with the patient's portion of the claim to a central financial interchange settlement process which provides a complete payment to the medical service provider. According to an exemplary embodiment, the financial interchange is operatively associated with a patient reserve trust which operates as a guarantor of the patient portion funds paid to the medical service provider in the event the patient's adjudicated portion is ultimately unpaid by the patient.

Abstract: One or more servers (70) are configured to periodically format (90, 92) and send (94) payments (26) to a payee in an order of preference (62) and a specified payment method until accepted (96).
