US Patent 9721315 Claim processing validation system

A system evaluates processing rules used for processing claim data related to reimbursement for provision of healthcare to a patient by specific payer organizations. The system includes at least one repository of information including first claim data. The first claim data processing rules and associated output data comprise first claim result information derived by applying the first claim data processing rules to the first claim data. The system also includes a source of a second claim data processing rule and a rules processor for applying the second claim data processing rule to the first claim data in deriving second claim result information corresponding to the first claim result information. A comparator compares the second claim result information with the first claim result information to identify changed result data elements and associated data fields in a claim form used in obtaining reimbursement in response to a claim. An output processor provides data representing a visual display image highlighting data fields associated with the changed result data elements.
