  • Publication number: 20240104666
    Abstract: A method and system for scanning claims data, the method comprising receiving, by a computing system, contract details associated with claims, receiving, by the computer system, prescription transactions data associated with the claims, parsing, by the computer system, the transactions data into column values, and executing, by the computer system, analytics on the parsed transactions. The analytics include comparing the parsed transactions against the contract details for accurate pricing, fees, and accepted treatment protocols concerning dose and quantity, comparing the parsed transactions with independent pricing data that is based on third-party pricing data and drug information, identifying material errors in the parsed transactions, determining withholdings from payment of the claims for a portion above a tolerance level based on the identified material errors. The method further comprising presenting, by the computer system, results of the execution of the analytics to a portal.

  • Patent number: 8060157
    Abstract: An apparatus including a first housing section having a first one-piece housing member; a second housing section having a second one-piece housing member; and a hinge rotatably connecting the first and second housing sections to each other. The hinge includes the first housing member forming a first hinge section at a first end of the first housing section which is pivotably connected to a second hinge section formed by the second housing member at a second end of the second housing member. The first and second hinge sections form opposite outer lateral ends of the hinge. The first and second hinge sections are spaced from outer lateral sides of the first and second housing sections. An axis of rotation of the hinge extends generally between the outer lateral sides.

  • Publication number: 20050079251
    Abstract: A flexible pouch arrangement includes a pouch that can be converted to a pouch-bowl. The pouch-bowl can be eaten directly therefrom. There is a pouch surrounding wall, a gusset closing the bottom end of the pouch surrounding wall, and a score line in the pouch surrounding wall. The score line is spaced from the gusset and from the top end to result in a removable pouch section. The removed section can be used as a lid or splash-guard on the pouch-bowl. One embodiment includes a pair of gripping tabs along the sides to allow for handling and manipulation of the pouch-bowl. Methods of use include removing the removable section, and accessing the material in the bag with an eating utensil. The pouch-bowl can be heated, such as by microwaving, with the removed section acting as a lid or splash-guard.

  • Patent number: 5865813
    Abstract: An IV tube occluder is disclosed which has a bow portion and a linkage portion which act to occlude an IV tube to prevent unwanted flow of liquid to a patient. The linkage portion and bow portion are engaged to allow the ends of the linkage portion to rotate within a certain range. The linkage portion has an extending pinching member which is used to occlude a portion of flexible tubing by pressing the tube against the bow portion. The pinching member of the linkage portion moves against the bow portion through the provision of a hinge portion of the linkage portion, which allows the pinching member to hold the tube in an open or closed position. In an alternative embodiment, both the bow portion and linkage portion are formed as a continuous body.
