  • Patent number: 8407064
    Abstract: A method and system for healthcare benefit plan selection determines a healthcare consumer's projected/predicted healthcare service utilization for a defined timeframe using a personalized healthcare service utilization model created based on: general/demographic data associated with the healthcare consumer; the healthcare consumer's historical healthcare service utilization; and the healthcare consumer's personal health profile data. Data associated with the rules governing the operation and use of two or more candidate healthcare benefit plans is also obtained. The operation and rules of use are then applied to healthcare consumer's projected healthcare service utilization for the defined timeframe to create expected healthcare consumer experience model data under each of two or more candidate healthcare benefit plans. In one embodiment, comparison data and/or a plan recommendation is then provided to the healthcare consumer.

  • Patent number: 7783567
    Abstract: A method and system for migrating transactions, such as bill payment transactions, between payment modules and/or payment processors. Each payment object is set up with payment information input to a payment module and results in one or more transactions.
