Abstract
Systems request and collect an opt-in from a network-connected communications device. The communications device has a unique identifier address. A server computer is connected to the network. A detector connects to a data channel over which the unique identifier address passes, and determines the unique identifier address. A dispatcher connected to and controlled by the server computer creates an opt-in request message directed to the communications device at the unique identifier address. A database is connected to the server computer. A record of the database is created for the communications device, which record includes the opt-in request message and unique identifier address. The server computer communicates the opt-in request to the communications device, and any reply message of the opt-in is received from the communications device and the database record updated accordingly. The opt-in reply message is a HIPAA authorization in a prescription drug benefit system.
