  • Patent number: 10331858
    Abstract: Systems and methods for prescription drug packaging are described. In some embodiments, a determination that a member of a pharmacy benefit plan has had a plurality of prescription drugs previously filled is made. An adjudication request for a prescription drug prescribed for the member is received. The adjudication request is based on a fulfillment request to fill the prescription drug. A determination that a blister packaging criterion has been met may be made based on a drug type of the prescription drug and a determination that the member has had the plurality of prescription drugs that have previously been filled. A blister fill instruction is transmitted based on receipt of the adjudication request and a determination that the blister packaging criterion has been met, wherein the blister fill instruction reflects that a pharmacy is to fill the prescription drug utilizing blister packaging. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8666761
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system for the design, administration and implementation of integrated disease management. The integrated disease management (“IDM”) system maximizes contact and enrollment rates of traditional remote disease management alone. This is accomplished through the creation of a system that combines telephonic-delivered disease management (i.e. traditional disease management) with work-site based health center clinician (“trusted clinician”). The IDM program is characterized by the involvement of a trusted clinician who actively participates in the disease management program by being involved in the stratification process, the contact step and the process of creating and updating the patient's individualized care plan. Therefore, the IDM program also allows the clinician to be involved in both contact and enrollment phases of the program.
