ELECTRONIC HEALTHCARE IDENTIFICATION GENERATION AND RECONCILIATION
First Claim
1. A system for generating healthcare information and reconciliation comprising:
- a data store comprising patient data, healthcare provider data, insurance carrier data, healthcare network data, and benefit plan data;
a computing processor communicatively coupled with the data store; and
computing memory communicatively coupled with the computing processor, the computing memory having instructions stored therein which when executed by the computing processor cause the processor to perform the following method;
receiving data representative of a subscriber'"'"'s benefit plan information via an electronic communication mechanism;
correlating the received data against one or more of healthcare provider data, healthcare network data, benefit plan data and insurance carrier data; and
generating an electronic healthcare card having information thereon that is representative of current contractual obligations existing between cooperating parties of a healthcare system.

Abstract
A system and method for generating healthcare identification and reconciliation information are provided. In an illustrative implementation, a computer-implemented healthcare information and reconciliation platform (HIRP) maintains a HIR engine which is operable on various data including but not limited to patient data, network data, plan data, insurance carrier/payor data, and healthcare provider data. In an illustrative operation, the HIR engine can receive input data representative of a participating user'"'"'s benefit plan. The HIR engine can process the inputted data and correlate the inputted data against healthcare provider data, benefit plan data, healthcare related data, healthcare network data and insurance carrier/payor data to generate and/or store an electronic healthcare card/document representative of the most up-to-date contractual obligations between the cooperating parties (e.g., healthcare provider, benefit plan administrator, healthcare network, insurance carrier, and the covered person/patient).

11. A computer-implemented interactive method for generating current healthcare identification and reconciliation information, comprising:
-
receiving data representative of a subscriber'"'"'s benefit plan information via an electronic communication mechanism; correlating the received data against one or more of healthcare provider data, healthcare network data, benefit plan data and insurance carrier/payor data to produce verified healthcare information for the participating user; generating an electronic healthcare card/document having verified healthcare information representative of one or more current relationships between cooperating parties comprising any of healthcare providers, benefit plan administrators, healthcare networks, insurance carriers/payors, and participating users. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable medium that contains instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform an interactive method for generating healthcare identification and reconciliation information comprising the steps of:
-
receiving data representative of a subscriber'"'"'s current benefit plan information via an electronic communication mechanism, the electronic communication mechanism comprising at least one of;
the Internet, a wireless telephonic network, a wireless communication network, fixed-wire communications network, or fixed-wire telephonic network;correlating the received data against one or more data comprising any of healthcare provider data, healthcare network data, benefit plan data and insurance carrier/payor data to produce verified healthcare information for the subscriber; generating an electronic healthcare card/document having verified healthcare information representative of one or more current relationships between cooperating parties comprising any of healthcare providers, benefit plan administrators, healthcare networks, insurance carriers/payors, and participating users.

16. A method to generate an electronic healthcare card comprising:
-
receiving data representative of a benefit plan; comparing the received benefit plan data with data in a cooperating data store to determine eligibility requirements for the benefit plan; upon satisfying eligibility requirements retrieving current data from a cooperating data store representative of healthcare providers that are covered by the benefit plan; and generating an electronic healthcare card/document using the received data representative of the benefit plan and the retrieved healthcare provider information such that the electronic healthcare card/document has current information specific to one or more of the covered healthcare providers. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A system for generating healthcare information and reconciliation comprising:
-
a data store comprising patient data, healthcare provider data, insurance carrier data, healthcare network data, healthcare related data, and benefit plan data; a computing processor communicatively coupled with the data store; and computing memory communicatively coupled with the computing processor, the computing memory having instructions stored therein which when executed by the computing processor cause the processor to perform the following method; receiving data identifying a covered party via an electronic communication mechanism; in response to the request, generating an electronic healthcare card comprising;
information representative of current contractual obligations existing between cooperating parties of a healthcare system, and healthcare related data; andcommunicating the electronic healthcare card. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
