Prescription adherence assistance

A circuit for improving functionality of a system for improving patient access to prescribed therapeutics, comprising:

• a first aggregating OR logic gate array;
• a second aggregating OR logic gate array;
• and
• a plurality of bitwise sizing circuits, wherein each bitwise sizing circuit of the plurality of bitwise sizing circuits comprise:
• a first input, receiving a first data source bit from a first data source;
• a second input, receiving a second data source bit from a second data source;
• an inverter, receiving an overrun bit to produce an inverted overrun bit;
• a XOR logic gate array, accepting the first data source bit and the second data source bit to produce a XOR product;
• a first AND logic gate array, accepting the first data source bit, the inverted overrun bit, and the XOR product to produce a first exceed bit;
• a second AND logic gate array, accepting the second data source bit, the inverted overrun bit, and the XOR product to produce a second exceed bit;
• and
• an OR logic gate array, accepting the first exceed bit and the second exceed bit to produce a variance bit;
• wherein the plurality of bitwise sizing circuits are organized in series as a chain, such that each of the bitwise sizing circuits of the chain, subsequent to a first bitwise sizing circuit in the chain, are communicated to an immediately previous bitwise sizing circuit in the chain such that the variance bit of the immediately previous bitwise sizing circuit is received by the inverter of the bitwise sizing circuit as the overrun bit;
• wherein the first data source includes an initial out-of-pocket cost value;
• wherein the second data source includes an assistance basis value;
• wherein the chain receives data starting with most significant bits of the initial out-of-pocket cost value and the assistance basis value;
• wherein the first exceed bit from each of the plurality of bitwise sizing circuits are combined via the first aggregating OR logic gate array to produce a first aggregated exceed bit;
• wherein the second exceed bit from each of the plurality of bitwise sizing circuits are combined via the second aggregating OR logic gate array to produce a second aggregated exceed bit;
• wherein the system uses the first aggregated exceed bit to determine that a patient qualifies for assistance to be provided when the first aggregated exceed bit is one/TRUE and the system modifies a reimbursement schedule to reflect the assistance.
