Distance Delivery Of Vocational Services Coupled With Shared Payments From Third Party Payers

US Patent:
6606601, Aug 12, 2003
Filed:
Oct 16, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/419740
Inventors:
Mary Joan Willard - Mill Valley CA 94941
International Classification:
G06F 1760
US Classification:
705 1, 709217
Abstract:
Vocational/employment services and supports delivered via distance methods such as an Internet-based information and support system, offer greater efficiency, convenience and depth and breadth of information than vocational services provided by conventional face-to-face delivery methods. In addition, such distance delivered services can be provided at a much lower cost than services provided via face-to-face meetings. The resulting cost savings make it possible for the provider of services to share with the consumer of services a substantial percentage of the payment that the provider receives from a third party payer. When payment from the third party payer is contingent upon the consumer achieving predetermined employment related goals, then a shared third party payment arrangement gives the consumer added incentive to achieve those goals and added reason to choose the provider using this method over others.

Appl. No.:
13/828248
Inventors:
Mary Joan Willard - Mill Valley CA, US
Allan Victor Burman - Arlington VA, US
International Classification:
G06Q 40/00
US Classification:
705 35, 705 38

Deviations may be identified between a near-term pattern and a far-term pattern by applying one or more rules, which may be ranked. The deviations that are identified may be determined to be either in compliance, in noncompliance, or within some acceptable level of compliance. A level of noncompliance outside of a range of acceptable noncompliance may result in generating a request for an action to be taken, such as an audit of the beneficiary. The aforementioned methods may be carried out using a computerized device.
