Patent attributes
An automated system and method for filing prescription drug claims which includes a point of service terminal which accepts a payment system access card for payment for a purchase of a service and/or product by a customer, where at least part of the purchase is reimbursable by a third party payor. The point of service terminal creates a purchase transaction and during the transaction electronically captures pertinent claim information including a claim authorization or approval number. The point of service terminal uses the pertinent claim information to update a claim records database. The claim records database is accessed by the third party payor and the pertinent claim information is validated. The applicable reimbursement amount, which is determined by the third party payor, is issued as a credit to the customer payment card account or a customer bank account or as a check.
