System and method for providing notifications to a user based upon the location of the user

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions for providing notifications and communication to a patient based on a patient entering into a geofenced area around a facility that offers healthcare services, that, as a result of being executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:

• a) create a geofenced area associated with a mobile device and a location that has the facility, wherein the patient is associated with the mobile device;
• b) store the geofenced area in a data store;
• c) determine when the mobile device has crossed or entered the geofenced area;
• d) sending a notification to the mobile device, wherein the notification includes a message that the particular healthcare service is due for the patient, wherein the notification further includes prompting the patient to request or place an order for the particular healthcare service by displaying an order button on a display of the mobile device that communicates to the user that the order button is for ordering the particular healthcare service by pressing the order button;
• e) output the notification to the mobile device when the location data of the mobile device is determined to be within the geofenced area that corresponds to the facility;
• f) prior to outputting the notification to the mobile device, determine if the patient had the at least one healthcare service within a predetermined time ago and preventing the outputting of the notification upon determining that the patient had the at least one healthcare service within a predetermined time ago;
• and
• g) prior to outputting the notification to the mobile device, determine that the at least one healthcare service should not be provided to the patient based on one or more insurance claims of the patient and preventing the outputting of the notification upon determining that the at least one healthcare service should not be provided to the patient based on one or more insurance claims of the patient,
• wherein the notification includes that the location offers the at least one healthcare service that can be received on an unscheduled basis, wherein the notification includes whether or not the at least one healthcare service is covered by the patient's insurance.

A system for providing notifications and communication to a patient based on a patient entering into a geofenced area around a facility that offers healthcare services comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, the one or memories having stored therein processor executable instructions which when executed by any set of the one or more processors, perform a process comprising:
• creating a geofenced area associated with a mobile device and a location that has the facility, wherein the patient is associated with the mobile device;
• storing the geofenced area in a data store;
• determining when the mobile device has crossed or entered the geofenced area;
• sending a notification to the mobile device, wherein the notification includes a message that the particular healthcare service is due for the patient, wherein the notification further includes prompting the patient to request or place an order for the particular healthcare service by displaying an order button on a display of the mobile device that communicates to the user that the order button is for ordering the particular healthcare service by pressing the order button;
• outputting the notification to the mobile device when the location data of the mobile device is determined to be within the geofenced area that corresponds to the facility;
• prior to outputting the notification to the mobile device, determining if the patient had the at least one healthcare service within a predetermined time ago and preventing the outputting of the notification upon determining that the patient had the at least one healthcare service within a predetermined time ago;
• and
• prior to outputting the notification to the mobile device, determining that the at least one healthcare service should not be provided to the patient based on one or more insurance claims of the patient and preventing the outputting of the notification upon determining that the at least one healthcare service should not be provided to the patient based on one or more insurance claims of the patient,
• wherein the notification includes that the location offers the at least one healthcare service that can be received on an unscheduled basis, wherein the notification includes whether or not the at least one healthcare service is covered by the patient's insurance.
