  • Patent number: 12340329
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a multi-platform prescription routing system in a network are provided. The system includes a network interface communicatively coupled to a computer network, the network interface including a receiver and a transmitter. The system includes at least one processor communicatively coupled to the network interface. The processor is configured to transmit the first prescription to the first supplier, and the second prescription to the second supplier for fulfillment. The processor is further configured to receive, via the network interface, status updates from the one or more suppliers. The processor is further configured to transmit, via the network interface, the status updates to the at least one user device in a format through which the status updates from the first supplier and the second supplier are together viewable by the patient within a single user interface at the user device.

  • Patent number: 10127502
    Abstract: The system includes a variety of aspects which allow users to efficiently receive reimbursement for claims. Claims accepted by CMS result in reimbursement for claimants. Claims rejected by CMS represent lost revenue for claimants. In order to maximize accepted claims and minimize rejected claims, the system provides for the generation of more accurate PDE files for submission and for the accumulation and formatting of information received from CMS to facilitate correction of PDE errors. These aspects work in tandem to minimize lost revenue for the claimant. Further, aspects described herein help minimize PDE error rates. Such minimization of errors can affect the reputation, business model, credibility, and competitive posture of Part D plan sponsors. Accordingly, minimization of PDE error rates is important to the overall design, function, and profitability of any Medicare Part D plan sponsor.

  • Publication number: 20110029321
    Abstract: The system includes a variety of aspects which allow the user to efficiently receive reimbursement for claims. Claims which are accepted by CMS result in reimbursement for the claimant. Claims which are rejected by CMS represent lost revenue for claimant. In order to maximize the number of accepted claims and minimize the number of rejected claims, the system provides at least two aspects. The front-end aspect is the generation of more accurate PDE files for submission. The back-end aspect is the accumulation and formatting of information received from CMS to facilitate the correction of PDE errors. Both of these aspects work in tandem to minimize the lost revenue of the claimant. Further, the aspects described herein help minimize PDE error rates. Such minimization of errors can affect the reputation, business model, credibility, and competitive posture of Part D plan sponsors.

  • Patent number: 6305772
    Abstract: A document-endorse arrangement has a document transport mechanism wherein documents are advanced down a track past one or more print stations where a jet-print nozzle array projects an ink stream to the document. One or more angled air streams arise from the track. Each air stream is directed downstream of the track at an acute angle of approximately 20 degrees with respect to the track. At least one of the airstreams is upstream of the nozzles and is adapted to pneumatically float each document past the nozzles so as to maintain a prescribed gap between the document and both the track and nozzles. This inhibits contamination of the nozzle from surplus ink and dust.
