Abstract
A system and a method for facilitating payment requests within a health care network are disclosed. The method includes providing a patient interface connected to the health care network. Further, a non-patient interface connected to the health care network is provided. The method further includes receiving a payment request from a payment sender for making a payment to a payment receiver. The payment sender is one and the payment receiver is another of patients and non-patients. Thereafter, the payment request is processed based on at least one of an authentication of the payment receiver and payment details stored in a blockchain database.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for facilitating payment requests within a health care network, the method comprising:
- configuring a patient interface coupled with the health care network for communicating with multiple patients;
- configuring a non-patient interface coupled with the health care network for communicating with multiple non-patients;
- receiving a payment request from a payment sender for making a payment to a payment receiver, wherein the payment sender is one and the payment receiver is another of patients and non-patients;
- and
- processing the payment request based on at least one of an authentication of the payment receiver and payment details stored in a blockchain database.
A system for facilitating payment requests within a health care network, the system comprising:
- a memory circuit storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to:
- configure a patient interface coupled with the health care network for communicating with multiple patients;
- configure a non-patient interface coupled with the health care network for communicating with multiple non-patients;
- receive a payment request from a payment sender for making a payment to a payment receiver, wherein the payment sender is one and the payment receiver is another of patients and non-patients;
- and
- process the payment request based on at least one of an authentication of the payment receiver and payment details stored in a blockchain database.
A computer-implemented method for processing payment information in a healthcare network, comprising:
- receiving a payment information from a remote procedure call component;
- providing the payment information to a payment history blockchain database;
- creating a hash function for the payment information;
- comparing the hash function with existing hash functions in the payment history blockchain database;
- when the hash function matches with an existing hash function in the payment history blockchain database, synchronizing, in a syncing node, the payment information with payment history blockchain database;
- and
- transferring funds from a payment sender to a payment receiver based on the payment information.
