  • Publication number: 20220310219
    Abstract: An EMS medical record acquisition system is provided. The system is configured to provide medical record information to an EMS rescuer in a mobile EMS environment. The system includes a user device, a patient identification data source, and a medical record digest system. The digest system is coupled to the user device and to the patient identification source. The digest system receives identification data from the patient identification source, queries a medical record repository using the identification data, receives a medical record for the patient from the medical record repository, generates a reference code based on the identification data, stores the medical record with the reference code, transmits the reference code to the user device, receives a query including the reference code from the user device, generates a digest at least a portion of the medical record, and provides the digest to the user device.

  • Publication number: 20220309592
    Abstract: Systems and methods for calculating medical claims payment estimates may receive a medical claim for a first patient including billing code(s) and demographic data, apply the demographic data to identify payer(s) for the first patient, access a data universe including patient data collection(s) of patient data records for a second group of patients, payer data collection(s) of data records for payers, and a financial history data collection including financial data record(s) for the first patient, identify, for each billing code, a payer payment pattern based on a combination of the patient data records and payer data record(s) corresponding to the payer for the first patient, identify a patient payment pattern based on the financial data record(s), and apply the payer payment pattern and the patient payment pattern to the medical claim for the first patient to calculate a payment estimation for the medical claim.
