Patent number: 9636927Abstract: Systems and methods for pharmacy messaging are described. A system includes a laser module and a control module. The laser module includes a marking chamber with a plurality of laser heads therein. A first and second entry gate are adjacent the marking chamber. The first entry gate is configured to open when the second entry gate is closed. A first and second exit gate are adjacent the marking chamber at a side different from the first entry and second entry gate. The first exit gate is configured to open when the second exit gate is closed. A transporter moves the objects being marked into and out of the marking chamber through the various gates. The control module is communicatively coupled to the laser module and adapted to control the laser module. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2015Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Express Scripts, Inc.Inventors: Charles E. Eller, Jacob J. Reinhardt, Katherine H.

Patent number: 9196172Abstract: Weight loss methods and systems are described. In one embodiment, behavior modification program data indicating participation in a weight loss behavior modification program is recorded. Drug therapy program data indicating drug fulfillment of a weight loss drug therapy program drug is recorded, in which the drug fulfillment of the weight loss drug therapy program drug occurs after participation in the weight loss behavior modification program. Whether a weight loss surgical program criterion has been met is determined based on analysis of the behavior modification program data and the drug therapy program data. The weight loss surgical program criterion is based on the participation in the weight loss behavior modification program and the drug fulfillment of the weight loss drug therapy program drug. A surgical weight loss program approval is generated based on a determination that the surgical weight loss program criterion has been met. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2011Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: EXPRESS SCRIPTS, INC.Inventors: Steven B. Miller, Robert F.
