Method, apparatus, and computer program product for submission of medical eligibility and claim data
Patent number: 11250938Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the efficient generation and submission of medical eligibility and medical claim data. In a method, a modified pharmacy benefits transaction associated with a patient is received that is formatted in a first predefined format. The modified pharmacy benefits transaction is parsed to determine an indicator and data is extracted from the modified pharmacy benefits transaction based on the indicator. A database is accessed to retrieve additional data that is at least partly based on a pharmacy with which the source is associated, a potential payor of the medical transaction or a medication that is a subject of the medical transaction. A medical transaction is generated that includes the extracted data and the additional data and formatted in a second predefined format. A response to the medical transaction is then transmitted to a source for display to a user.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: MCKESSON CORPORATIONInventors: Jamie Lau, Elizabeth Kaye, Roy Toney, Ramond McBeth, Anika Khare, James Adair -
Publication number: 20210298490Abstract: A childcare organizer having an interior cavity that can be selectively sectioned off by a shelving system that embodies a divider defined by a plurality of malleable slats is provided. The inner surfaces that define the interior cavity may have a first fastener, while the distal end of each divider slat has a corresponding second fastener, thereby connecting the ends of the slats to two or more inner surfaces defines one of almost innumerable permutations of where and how the slats are located and oriented, respectively, within the interior cavity. The interior cavity is accessible by way of a cover that is movable between an open condition and a closed condition. In the open condition, the cover acts as a ramp for a changing mat to unfurl down. The changing mat is storable in the interior cavity in a folded position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: Bradley James Adair, Jessica Marlene Adair

Patent number: 10377510Abstract: Various enhanced rocket fairings and associated mechanisms are discussed herein for split fairings with two fairing halves. In some implementations, electrically-actuated base clamps are included to deploy the rocket fairing by applying a spring force between a corresponding fairing half and a payload adapter, which directs movement of the fairing halves upwards and away from the payload adapter until release of the fairing halves. In other implementations, electrically-actuated fairing mechanisms are included to hold together a first fairing half and a second fairing half, and separate the first fairing half from the second fairing half using a spring force. In further implementations, one fairing half includes a tab feature configured to overlap a second fairing half. The tab feature can deform inward under a pressure differential between an exterior and a payload envelope to reduce a gap between the two fairing halves.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2018Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Vector Launch Inc.Inventors: Brian James Riskas, Robert Duane Hill, Emerald James Adair, Kerry Michael Kugler, Richard William Dalgarno, Mark Edward Bishop, Robert Stewart Skillen

Patent number: 10226424Abstract: Stable, non-toxic, calcium phosphate nanoparticles are formed that incorporate one or more oligonucleotides. RNAi nucleotides may be incorporated and, in particular, siRNA nucleotides. Since the siRNA nanoparticles dissociate leaving only naturally occurring residual materials, calcium and phosphate, along with the siRNA, they are particularly useful as carrier vehicles. The ability to incorporate more than one siRNA provides a means to block or knock down the translation of multiple targeted proteins at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2013Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Inventors: Mylisa Parette, Danielle Asquino, Kari Eyer, James Adair, Jeff Davidson, Mark Kester

Publication number: 20050095193Abstract: The present invention provides a method of removing spectator ions and contaminants from aqueous suspensions of solid particles. In accordance with the method of the invention, the solid particles are transported across a phase boundary into a non-polar organic solvent, leaving the spectator ions and contaminants in the aqueous phase. To facilitate the efficient transportation of the solid particles across the phase boundary, the surface of the solid particles is coated with an amphiphilic polyelectrolyte. If desired, the solid particles can be recovered from the organic phase by evaporating the organic solvent.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2004Publication date: May 5, 2005Applicants: Ferro Corporation, The Penn State Research FoundationInventors: James Adair, Christopher Szepesi, Heber Rast, Mike Chu, Xiangdong Feng
