  • Patent number: 11443835
    Abstract: Methods and systems for processing data inquiries are described. In one embodiment, data from a data source can be received, a data processing request indicating a request to perform a first function can be received, and a first identifier associated with a user can be determined based on the received data. A table storing a plurality of adjudication results including a plurality of field parameters may be accessed. The plurality of adjudication results in the table can be filtered by determining which of the plurality of adjudication results includes one of the plurality of field parameters having a value that matches or corresponds to the selected field value to create a first subset of filtered adjudication results from the plurality of adjudication results. The first subset of adjudication results can be transmitted when the processor determines that at least one adjudication result of the plurality of adjudication results is within the first subset. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.
