Methods and systems for pharmacy location

A method comprising:

• receiving an input on a mobile electronic device, the input including identification of a member;
• identifying, on a processor of the mobile electronic device, a client associated with the member, the client providing a drug benefit plan under which the member receives a prescription drug benefit;
• transmitting a request, from the mobile electronic device to a network manager device over the Internet, for a pharmacy network association identification of the member;
• receiving, on the processor of the mobile electronic device from the network manager device over the Internet, identification of a plurality of pharmacy network associations available to the member based on the drug benefit plan of the member, a first pharmacy network association of the plurality of pharmacy network associations including a plurality of first network pharmacies having a first contractually obligated discounted rate on prescription drugs, a second pharmacy network association of the plurality of pharmacy network associations including a plurality of second network pharmacies having a second contractually obligated discounted rate on prescription drugs, the second discounted rate on prescription drugs being a lesser discounted rate than the first discounted rate on prescription drugs, a pharmacy within the first pharmacy network association or the second pharmacy network association being capable of fulfilling a prescription for a prescription drug;
• determining a location associated with the member by receiving a travel route associated with the mobile electronic device;
• identifying, on the processor of the mobile electronic device, a first network pharmacy of the first pharmacy network association offering the first discounted rate on prescription drugs based on the location associated with the member;
• identifying, on the processor of the mobile electronic device, a second network pharmacy of the second pharmacy network association offering the second discounted rate on prescription drugs based on the location associated with the member;
• and
• generating, on the processor of the mobile electronic device, a display based on the identification of the first network pharmacy and the second network pharmacy and the location of the member, the display including a listing of pharmacies within a geographic area based on the location associated with the member, a first color indicator, and a second color indicator,
• wherein the first network pharmacy is associated on the listing of pharmacies with the first color indicator, and the second network pharmacy is associated on the listing of pharmacies with the second color indicator, the first indicator being a different color than the second indicator.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the following operations:

• receive, on a processor of a network manager device over the Internet, identification of a member from a mobile electronic device
• identify, on the processor of a network manager device, a client associated with the member, the client providing a drug benefit plan under which the member receives a prescription drug benefit;
• determine, on the processor of a network manager device, a plurality of pharmacy network associations available to the member based on the drug benefit plan of the member, a first pharmacy network association of the plurality of pharmacy network associations including a plurality of first network pharmacies having a first contractually obligated discounted rate on prescription drugs, a second pharmacy network association of the plurality of pharmacy network associations including a plurality of second network pharmacies having a second contractually obligated discounted rate on prescription drugs, the second discounted rate on prescription drugs being a lesser discounted rate than the first discounted rate on prescription drugs, a pharmacy within the first pharmacy network association or the second pharmacy network association being capable of fulfilling a prescription for a prescription drug;
• determine, on the processor of the network manager device over the Internet, a location associated with the member by accessing member data in a database, the member data indicating a perceived location of the member;
• identify, on the processor of the network manager device, a first network pharmacy of the first pharmacy network association offering the first discounted rate on prescription drugs based on the location associated with the member;
• identify, on the processor of the network manager device, a second network pharmacy of the second pharmacy network association offering the second discounted rate on prescription drugs based on the location associated with the member;
• transmit the identifications of the first network pharmacy and the second network pharmacy to the mobile electronic device from the network manager device over the Internet;
• and
• cause the mobile electronic device to generate and output a display based on the identification of the first network pharmacy and the second network pharmacy and the location of the member, the display including a listing of pharmacies within a geographic area based on the location associated with the member, a first color indicator, and a second color indicator,
• wherein the first network pharmacy is associated on the listing of pharmacies with the first color indicator, and the second network pharmacy is associated on the listing of pharmacies with the second color indicator, the first indicator being a different color than the second indicator.

A system comprising:

• a global positioning system (“GPS”) in a mobile electronic device that determines GPS coordinates associated with the mobile electronic device, the GPS coordinates indicating a location associated with a member;
• and
• a processor of a network manager device configured to (a) receive, over the Internet, identification of the member from the mobile electronic device, (b) identify a client associated with the member, the client providing a drug benefit plan under which the member receives a prescription drug benefit, (c) determine a plurality of pharmacy network associations available to the member based on the drug benefit plan of the member, a first pharmacy network association of the plurality of pharmacy network associations including a plurality of first network pharmacies having a first contractually obligated discounted rate on prescription drugs, a second pharmacy network association of the plurality of pharmacy network associations including a plurality of second network pharmacies having a second contractually obligated discounted rate on prescription drugs, the second discounted rate on prescription drugs being a lesser discounted rate than the first discounted rate on prescription drugs, a pharmacy within the first pharmacy network association or the second pharmacy network association being capable of fulfilling a prescription for a prescription drug, (d) determine the location associated with the member by receiving the GPS coordinates from the global positioning system of the mobile electronic device, (e) identify a first network pharmacy of the first pharmacy network association offering the first discounted rate on prescription drugs based on the location associated with the member, (f) identify a second network pharmacy of the second pharmacy network association offering the second discounted rate on prescription drugs based on the location associated with the member, (g) transmit the identifications of the first network pharmacy and the second network pharmacy to the mobile electronic device from the network manager device over the Internet, and (h) cause the mobile electronic device to generate and output a display based on the identification of the first network pharmacy and the second network pharmacy and the location of the member, the display including a listing of pharmacies within a geographic area based on the location associated with the member, a first color indicator, and a second color indicator,
• wherein the first network pharmacy is associated on the listing of pharmacies with the first color indicator, and the second network pharmacy is associated on the listing of pharmacies with the second color indicator, the first indicator being a different color than the second indicator.
