Abstract:
1. A computer program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable memory medium, the computer program product including program instructions executable by a processor to direct the performance of operations comprising: obtaining a claim regarding healthcare services from a registered user at a hosted server via a communications network, the claim including healthcare service data associated with said services; identifying an account associated with the registered user and having user details stored in a database functionally linked to the hosted server; enabling the registered user to define one or more of the user details as availability criteria comprising one or more of a minimum cost savings threshold and a maximum distance threshold; extracting details of a healthcare plan associated with the registered user from a database functionally linked to the hosted server; identifying one or more comparable claims having healthcare service data stored in a database functionally linked to the hosted server, the claims determined as being comparable based on criteria comprising a healthcare provider specialty and service code; resolving the healthcare service data for the obtained claim against the healthcare service data for the one or more comparable claims to identify available healthcare service options for future occurrences of the same service for the user based on availability criteria comprising one or more of the minimum cost savings threshold and the maximum distance threshold; generating a graphical user interface field comprising a message effective to notify the user of any identified available options; enabling the user to provide declined options feedback regarding any one or more available options; dynamically adjusting one or more of the minimum cost savings threshold and the maximum distance threshold based on the declined options feedback from the user; and responsive to a user request via the graphical user interface associated with one or more of said identified available options, generating a graphical user interface field comprising details for obtaining services associated with the identified available options.
