Patent number: 10489843Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method which allows a prospective insured to make an informed decision on healthcare insurance or a specific health care management decision by using a current medical profile to assist in their selection. Based on past medical care, as obtained from payor data, a number of different plans, each having different providers, different deductibles, different maximums, different reimbursement policies, etc., a person can make an informed decision. When a family has different payors for different family members, a proper blend of payors can be more easily selected since the payors (or a single payor) has a medical profile of each family member and also has information on providers in the network, prescription policies, deductibles, maximums, etc.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2014Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Cognizant TriZetto Software Group, Inc.Inventor: Val C.

Patent number: 10402538Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method which gathers information from all of a person's healthcare providers and abstracts from that information the data necessary for a healthcare provider to render informed medical decisions. In one embodiment, information necessary to process proper payment to a provider (re: reimbursement to the insured patient) is used to develop a holistic view of the medical condition pertaining to the patient. Since this information comes from a myriad of providers, including physicians, surgeons, nursing care, druggists, testing labs, mental health counselors, dentists, oral surgeons, etc., the holistic view that is developed is comprehensive. In one embodiment, the system and method could set parameters on critical data such that if that data is outside the set parameters, alerts can be sent to the appropriate caregivers and/or patients.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Cognizant TriZetto Software Group, Inc.Inventor: Val C.
