Abstract: A relief valve includes a first chamber with an inlet that includes an inlet valve seat and an outlet. A second chamber is spaced apart from the first chamber. A chamber wall is positioned between the first chamber and the second chamber. A closure member is movably positioned within the first chamber and is configured to be closable on the inlet valve seat. A first magnet is coupled to the closure member. The first magnet is movably positioned within the second chamber and is configured to generate a first magnetic field of a first polarity. A second magnet is positioned within the second chamber and is configured to generate a second magnetic field of a second polarity. The first magnetic field and the second magnet field interact to bias the closure member to rest on the inlet valve seat with a set force.

Abstract: A centralized formulary system for maintaining formulary data to service the needs of multiple user groups. Formulary and drug information is updated automatically when received from outside sources. In addition to drug identifying data, line of business and utilization management protocol data is associated with the formulary data. The formulary data further comprises coverage data for health plans that use the formularies. The additional business data maintained in association with the formularies facilitates the retrieval and editing of formulary data for various business needs, including compliance with third party requirements. The system allows users to analyze formulary data, edit formulary data, produce reports regarding formulary data, and export files. The system also supports submission of formulary data to third party computer systems.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a Medicare Part D Pharmacy Benefits Calculator. A user inputs data for prescriptions to be purchased by a prospective insured for a plan period. The prescription data includes a quantity, a days supply, and a number of fills. The data for each prescription the user enters is used to calculate anticipated out-of-pocket costs for the prescriptions for one or more pharmacy benefits plans available to the prospective insured. The cost data is presented to the user in a way that illustrates how out-of-pocket costs will vary over the course of a plan period. The user may view costs for alternative drugs and alternatives sources of drugs. The user may vary and expand the presentation of the cost data to better understand the available plan benefits. The invention helps prospective insureds decide among alternative Medicare Part D pharmacy benefits plans offered by one or more insurance companies.
