  • Distributed benefits coverage validation apparatuses, processes and systems
    Patent number: 12646120
    Abstract: The Distributed Benefits Coverage Validation Apparatuses, Processes and Systems (“DBCV”) transforms provider info, add provider transaction request, employee subscriber ID card data datastructure/inputs via DBCV components into add provider transaction response, benefit coverage validation notification outputs. A benefit coverage validation request datastructure structured to specify subscriber ID card data associated with a beneficiary is obtained. A blockchain address of a smart contract associated with the beneficiary is determined via the subscriber ID card data. Encrypted benefit coverage data associated with the beneficiary is obtained by sending a blockchain transaction to the blockchain address of the smart contract. An encryption key corresponding to the encrypted benefit coverage data is obtained from a key management server. The encrypted benefit coverage data associated with the beneficiary is decrypted with the encryption key.
