METHOD FOR CONDUCTING PRESCRIPTION DRUG CO-PAYMENT PLANS

摘要

A credit card-based prescription benefits plan utilizes an electronic means for telecommunication to rapidly adjudicate prescription claims. The adjudication process includes a third-party claims processor (50) interposed the pharmacy (40) and the patient's credit card clearinghouse (70) to ensure that the subscriber receives all benefits available under the plan. The third-party claims processor (50) may also provide patient (20) counseling and advocacy by performing patient-specific drug regimen reviews to check for potential adverse drug reactions and drug interactions.
