Protected health information image capture, processing and submission from a client device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A charge capture client device comprising:
- a transceiver for communicating with a charge capture manager device via a connection to a network;
a controller coupled to the transceiver;
an imaging device coupled to the controller, the imaging device configured to capture an image including protected health information (PHI); and
a memory coupled to the controller, the memory including instructions to configure the controller to;
generate a new bill graphical display for facilitating user entry of a new patient data set, the new bill graphical display including;
an image graphical interface, wherein an image input interface is generated when the image graphical interface is selected for selecting an image captured by the imaging device so that the PHI information can be parsed from the image, the image graphical interface including a thumbnail image of the image after the image is selected;
a diagnosis selection graphical interface, wherein a diagnosis selection display is generated when the diagnosis selection graphical interface is selected, the diagnosis selection display subsequent in hierarchy to the new bill graphical display, the diagnosis selection display including;
an open text field for receiving diagnosis related information; and
a results display for displaying a plurality of diagnosis codes returned as results based upon the diagnosis related information;
an evaluation and management (E/M) code selection graphical interface; and
a procedure code selection graphical interface.

7. A charge capture client device comprising:
-
a transceiver for communicating with a charge capture manager device via a connection to a network; a controller coupled to the transceiver; an imaging device coupled to the controller, the imaging device configured to capture an image including protected health information (PHI); and
a memory coupled to the controller, the memory including instructions to configure the controller to;generate a resource request including an authentication credential associated with a user to be sent to the charge capture manager device; generate a data set including the PHI parsed from the image; store one or more diagnoses in the data set; store one or more evaluation and management codes in the data set; store information about a procedure performed on the patient and a procedure billing code associated with the procedure in the data set; encrypt the data set and store the encrypted data set in the memory to be transmitted to the charge capture manager device; and delete the encrypted data set from the memory after receiving an acknowledgment message indicating successful transmission from the charge capture manager device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A charge capture manager device comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to receive a resource request from a client device remote from the charge capture manager device, the resource request including authentication credentials associated with a user name; a controller operatively coupled to the transceiver; and one or more memory sources operatively coupled to the controller, the one or more memory sources including a charge database, billing code database and instructions for configuring the controller, wherein the instructions configure the controller to; add a new bill data set in response to a request received from the client device to a bill history and set a status flag associated with the new bill data set to indicate new charge, the new bill data set including patient identification information, one or more diagnoses, one or more evaluation and management codes, one or more procedure billing codes, date information and user information in the data set; generate an acknowledgment message indicating successful transmission of the new bill data set to be sent to the client device; delete a data set indicated in a request from the client device; and execute a billing code query in response to an authenticated and authorized user request from another charge capture client device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
