Method And Apparatus For Processing Pharmaceutical Orders To Determine Whether A Buyer Of Pharmaceuticals Qualifies For An “Own Use” Discount
US Patent:
7640170, Dec 29, 2009
Filed:
Nov 10, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/710227
Inventors:
Ewing B. Gourley - Springfield MO, US
International Classification:
G06Q 30/00, G06Q 50/00, G06F 19/00
US Classification:
705 2, 705 3, 705 1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for processing pharmaceutical orders to determine whether a buyer of pharmaceuticals qualifies for an “own use” discount. “Own use” discounts on pharmaceuticals are available for a limited class of buyers under 35 U. S. C. §13c. Under one method, an auditor receives an order for a quantity of pharmaceuticals, receives a report associated with the order containing sufficient information therein to perform an audit on the order, and compares the information found in the order with the information found in the associated report to make a status determination as to whether a buyer qualifies for an “own use” discount. Preferably a second report containing additional audit information is received as well. The auditor can also audit the order by comparing the order to this additional information. If these comparisons result in a determination that the buyer does in fact qualify for an “own use” discount, the auditor can then place the order with a pharmaceutical seller for a discounted price.
