Methods and apparatus for automated insurance claims and eligibility/benefits communication, audit, and research are described. This application relates to methods and apparatus for automated insurance claims and eligibility/benefits communication, audit, and research. These methods include processing an insurance claim, comprising creating a claim for payment of medical services for a patient from a medical provider, submitting the payment claim to an insurance carrier, adjudicating the claim; and submitting the payment to the medical provider, wherein during the process of adjudicating the claim, data is collected about the efficiency of the payment process and it is reported back to the medical provider and used to improve the information used to create the claim. Other embodiments are described.

Methods and systems that allow multiple channels of communication between multiple users via a platform that automatically integrates and synchronizes the resources of each user during the communication are described. The systems comprise a platform capable of handling multiple types of communications with multiple users and systems. The platform contains a browser, one or more servers for handling communications between the platform and user devices that are external to the platform, a speech engine for converting text to speech and vice versa, a chat server, an email server, a text server, a data warehouse, a scheduler, a workflow/rules engine, a reports server, and integration APIs that can be integrated with 3rd party systems and allow those systems to be integrated with the platform. The platform is linked to multiple users (and their devices or systems) through a communications network. Each user can select a preferred communication mode that includes the device, software, and desired communication channel. The platform is able to match the preferred communication mode between multiple users, allowing the users to communicate with each other using their preferred mechanism as well as their preferred communication mode. With such a configuration, the methods for communicating between multiple users are more efficient, effective, and reliable, with increased visibility and accountability between the users. Other embodiments are described.

Methods and apparatus for automating the process for researching medical claims and/or eligibility, as well as standardizing and analyzing the resulting data are. These methods include automated processes for researching an insurance claim, comprising steps of interactively and recursively querying search fields in a web portal(s) and/or phone system(s), aggregating the information from multiple sources into a standardized format in a database table(s). This data can be used to generate analytics, predictive analysis and reports for the medical provider and/or payers. This application also sets forth multiple communication standards for exchanging data over a phone or computer system. Other embodiments are described.
摘要:
Methods and systems for creating, accessing, and communicating content are described. The systems comprise a single platform that allows multiple coordinated communication channels with a single user device (or user system) or multiple user devices (or user systems) at the same time. The platforms contains a browser for communicating with a communications network, multiple types of servers for handling different communications between the platform and a user device external to the platform, a database for storing content, a speech engine for converting text to speech, for converting speech to text, or both, and a configuration engine for configuring the applications that users will use during interaction with the platform. The platform can accordingly communicate with a user (or a user system) using any desired number (or combination) of communication channels. Other embodiments are described.
