Abstract

A graphical display in an insurance processing system is disclosed. The graphical display may include a representation of a human body. The representation of the human body may provide information to a user that is helpful in specifying insurance claim information. For example, the representation may provide information regarding body parts, information regarding injury codes, information regarding common injuries, information regarding common treatments and/or information regarding treatment codes. The representation may also be used to provide input into the insurance processing system.

Claims

1-108. -108 (Cancelled)

109. A method comprising:

providing a graphical display in an insurance claim processing system comprising at least one representation of a human body;

selecting a body part on at least one representation of the human body;

displaying input selection information related to the selected body part; and

receiving an input selection via the displayed input selection information.

110. The method of claim 109, wherein the received input selection comprises at least one injury code.

111. The method of claim 109, wherein the received input selection comprises a selection of at least one body part.

112. The method of claim 109, further comprising providing information in the graphical display identifying at least one selected body part.

113. The method of claim 109, further comprising providing information in the graphical display identifying common injuries associated with at least one selected body part.

114. The method of claim 109, wherein at least one representation of a human body comprises a representation of a human skeletal system.

115. The method of claim 109, wherein at least one representation of a human body comprises a representation of human musculature.

116. The method of claim 109, wherein at least one representation of a human body comprises a representation of a human nervous system.

117. The method of claim 109, wherein at least one representation of a human body comprises a representation of a human circulatory system.

118. The method of claim 109, further comprising receiving input selecting a layer to display in at least one representation of the human body, wherein a layer comprises an anatomical system and associated organs.

119. The method of claim 109, further comprising displaying a photograph of a selected body part in the graphical display.

120. The method of claim 109, further comprising displaying a more detailed view of a body part, in response to the body part being selected in the graphical display.

121. The method of claim 109, wherein the input selection information related to the selected body part comprises a menu comprising a selection of subparts of the selected body part.

122. The method of claim 109, wherein the input selection information related to the selected body part comprises a menu comprising a selection of injury types associated with the selected body part.

123. The method of claim 109, wherein the input selection information related to the selected body part comprises a menu comprising a selection of subparts of the selected body part and a selection of injury types associated with the selected body part.

124. The method of claim 109, wherein the received input selection comprises at least one injury code associated with at least one injury type;

wherein the method further comprises displaying at least one graphical display of a selected injury type.

125. The method of claim 109, wherein the received input selection comprises at least one injury code associated with at least one injury type and at least one injured area;

wherein the method further comprises displaying at least one graphical display depicting an injury of at least one selected injury type to at least one selected injured area.

126. The method of claim 109, wherein the input selection information related to the selected body part comprises a menu comprising a selection of treatment types associated with the selected body parts.

127. The method of claim 109, wherein the input selection information related to the selected body part comprises a menu comprising a selection of subparts of the selected body part and a selection of treatment types associated with the selected body part.

128. The method of claim 109, wherein the received input selection comprises at least one treatment code associated with at least one treatment type;

wherein the method further comprises displaying at least one graphical display of a selected treatment type.

129. The method of claim 109, wherein the received input selection comprises at least one treatment code associated with at least one treatment type and at least one treated area;

wherein the method further comprises displaying at least one graphical display depicting a treatment of at least one selected treatment type to at least one selected treated area.

172. The method of claim 109, further comprising providing a graphical display in an insurance claim processing system of at least one input field;

wherein selecting a body part comprises receiving input via at least one input field, wherein the received input relates to at least one body part; and

wherein displaying input selection information related to a selected body part comprises highlighting at least one body part related to the received input on at least one representation of the human body.

181. The method of claim 172, wherein the receive input relates to at least one body part and an anatomical system, and wherein highlighting at least one body part comprises displaying a layer comprising the anatomical system.

184. The method of claim 172, wherein the received input comprises an injury type.

186. The method of claim 172, wherein the received input comprises a treatment type.

130. A carrier medium comprising program instructions, wherein the program instructions are executable to implement a method of:

providing a graphical display in an insurance claim processing system comprising at least one representation of a human body;

selecting a body part on at least one representation of the human body;

displaying input selection information related to the selected body part; and

receiving an input selection via the displayed input selection information.

131. The carrier medium of claim 130, wherein the received input selection comprises at least one injury code.

132. The carrier medium of claim 130, wherein the received input selection comprises a selection of at least one body part.

133. The carrier medium of claim 130, wherein the program instructions are further executable to implement providing information in the graphical display identifying at least one selected body part.

134. The carrier medium of claim 130, wherein the program instructions are further executable to implement providing information in the graphical display identifying common injuries associated with at least one selected body part.

189. The carrier medium of claim 130, wherein the method further comprises:

providing a graphical display in an insurance claim processing system of at least one input field;

wherein selecting a body part comprises receiving input via at least one input field, wherein the received input relates to at least one body part; and

wherein displaying input selection information related to the selected body part comprises highlighting at least one body part related to the received input on at least one representation of the human body.

135-150. -150 (Cancelled)

151. An insurance claim processing system, comprising:
