Abstract
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention use a data processing system for capturing line item data. The method involves receiving claim identification information from a claimant, where the claim identification information comprises, at least, one line level; providing the client with an item tree of line item level data based on the line level and aggregating line item level data collected from the claimant; and storing the line item level data in an insurance host server.
Claims45
A method for capturing line item data by a data processing system, comprising:
- receiving claim identification information from a client computer, said claim identification information identifying an insurance claim;
- presenting the client computer with an option to enter line item data regarding the claim through a web-based process or through a spreadsheet;
- when the spreadsheet option is selected at the client computer;
- querying the client computer to determine whether a spreadsheet appropriate for the type of insurance claim needs to be downloaded to the client computer, the spreadsheet receives the line item data;
- downloading the spreadsheet appropriate for the type of insurance claim to the client computer;
- inserting line item data into the spreadsheet appropriate for the type of insurance claim;
- aggregating the line item data collected from the client computer;
- storing the line item data in an insurance host server;
- and
- when the web-based option is selected at the client computer;
- providing the client computer with an item tree of line item data based on the line level;
- aggregating the line item data collected from the client computer;
- and
- storing the line item data in an insurance host server.
A system for capturing line item data, comprising:
- a processor for executing programs;
- and
- a memory for storing a program executable by the processor, the stored program including instructions for:
- (i) receiving claim identification information from a client computer, said claim identification information comprising a line level identifying an insurance claim;
- (ii) presenting the client computer with an option to enter line item data regarding the claim through a web-based process or through a spreadsheet;
- (iii) when the web-based option is selected at the client computer;
- (a) providing the client computer with an item tree of line item data based on a line level;
- and
- (b) aggregating the line item data collected from the client computer;
- (iv) when the spreadsheet option is selected at the client computer;
- (a) querying the client computer to determine whether a spreadsheet appropriate for the type of insurance claim needs to be downloaded;
- (b) downloading the spreadsheet appropriate for the insurance claim;
- (c) inserting line item data into the spreadsheet appropriate for the type of insurance claim;
- (d) aggregating the line item data collected from the client computer, and
- (v) storing the line item data in an insurance host server when either the spreadsheet or the web-based process option is selected.
A computer readable medium containing instructions for controlling a computer system to perform a method for capturing line item data, the method comprising:
- receiving claim identification information from a client computer, said claim identification information comprising a line level identifying an insurance claim;
- presenting the client computer with an option to enter line item data through a web-based process or through a spreadsheet;
- when the spreadsheet option is selected at the client computer;
- querying the client computer to determine whether a spreadsheet appropriate for the type of insurance claim needs to be downloaded to the client computer;
- downloading the appropriate spreadsheet to the client computer;
- inserting line item data into the spreadsheet appropriate for the type of insurance claim;
- aggregating the line item data collected from the client computer;
- storing the line item data in an insurance host server;
- and
- when the web-based option is selected at the client computer;
- providing the client computer with an item tree of line item level data based on a line level;
- aggregating the line item data collected from the client computer;
- and
- storing the line item data in an insurance host server.
