Abstract
Proactive resolution of coordination of benefits (COB) issues is provided. Payer data is received as membership files from a plurality of payers, the payer data including eligibility and member demographic data. Upon detection of new or modified information, a normalizing engine may be utilized to normalize name information, address information, and social security number information into a format for comparing with other stored payer data according to various rules. A matching engine may be utilized to compare the normalized payer data against other insurance provider data to determine COB instances by discovering matches or partial-matches of member information. A set of rules may be applied to determine a primary versus a secondary payer. An output file, which may comprise matches and COB determinations, raw data, and a web interface for accessing archived reports and files and to generate individual member searches, may be provided to one or more payers.
