Systems and Methods for Storing and Locating Claim Reimbursement Attachments

A clinical document storage and locator system, the system comprising:

• a clinical database component adapted to store a plurality of clinical documents and a plurality of clinical document identifiers;
• a user interface component adapted to receive a user query;
• a document retriever component adapted to retrieve a relevant clinical document identifier from the clinical database component using the received user query, wherein the user interface component is adapted to display the retrieved relevant clinical document identifier for selection by a user, and wherein the document retriever component is further adapted to retrieve a relevant clinical document associated with the displayed relevant clinical document identifier from the clinical database component;
• and
• a temporary storage component adapted to store the retrieved relevant clinical document, wherein the document retriever component is further adapted to attach the stored relevant clinical document to a response.

A method for locating claim reimbursement attachments, the method comprising:

• receiving a request;
• determining an LOINC code using the request;
• generating a document query using the LOINC code;
• and
• retrieving a relevant clinical document from a clinical database component using the document query.

A method for locating claim reimbursement attachments, the method comprising:

• receiving a user query;
• retrieving a relevant clinical document identifier using the user query;
• displaying the relevant clinical document identifier for selection by a user, wherein the relevant clinical document identifier is associated with a relevant clinical document;
• retrieving the relevant clinical document;
• caching the retrieved relevant clinical document;
• and
• attaching the cached relevant clinical document to a response.

A computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions for execution on a computer, the set of instructions comprising:

• a receiver routine configured to receive a request;
• an LOINC routine configured to determine an LOINC code using the request;
• a generation routine configured to generate a document query using the determined LOINC code;
• and
• a retrieval routine configured to retrieve a relevant clinical document from a clinical database component using the generated document query.
