  • Patent number: 8645159
    Abstract: Embodiments provide for tracking and notifying healthcare providers of financially delinquent patients. A platform includes or is coupled to a database including identifying data of patient debtors who have been financially delinquent in a healthcare transaction with a healthcare provider. The identifying data includes patient and financial identification data of the transaction. A fee is received from a subscriber (healthcare provider) that enables the subscriber to electronically access the platform. The identifying data of patient debtors is provided to the subscriber via the platform. New identifying data of patient debtors is received at the platform from a contributing subscriber (healthcare provider). The new identifying data is identifying data of a new patient debtor and/or a new healthcare transaction of an existing patient debtor. A discount is automatically applied to the fee of the contributing subscriber in response to the new identifying data.

  • Patent number: 5863202
    Abstract: A dental device for the treatment of dental arches and periodontal tissue addressing the drawbacks of the prior art, comprising a prefabricated dental appliance composed of a non-porous polymeric material having a trough for immersing the teeth of the dental arch, the dental appliance being adaptable to fit a range of variously sized dental arches, and a premeasured amount of bleaching and/or other dental agent, which may be predispensed within the trough of the disposable dental appliance. The dental appliance of the present invention may be packaged to enclose individual or multiple units. The predispensed dental agent may be predispensed within the packaged appliances, or be sealed in the trough of the dental appliance. Alternatively, the predetermined amount of dental agent may be packaged in a separate container located adjacent to the trough orifice so that the dental agent is capable of being directly expelled into the trough of dental appliance when the seal is opened.
