Systems and methods for providing notifications of availability of generic drugs or products

A system, comprising:

• at least one memory operable to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• receive, from a healthcare provider computer, a healthcare claim transaction request that identifies a product for a patient,
• determine that the product identified by the healthcare claim transaction request is a non-generic product or a branded product,
• determine that a generic equivalent for the product identified by the healthcare claim transaction request will become available on a future date by accessing a database comprising one or more future dates of an availability of one or more generic equivalents to the non-generic drug or the branded product,
• generate a generic notification message indicating the availability of the generic equivalent for the product on the future date, and
• deliver or direct a delivery of the generic notification message.
