The discount service computer includes an eligibility database of prescription drug patients, cell numbers, and prescription drug identities. The prescription token is matched to a record of the eligibility database, if any exist, and otherwise a corresponding record is generated for the prescription token. The discount service computer accesses a discount database to retrieve a discount coupon relevant to the record of the eligibility database and the prescription drug identity from the prescription token. The discount coupon is sent by response message to the cellular device as a text message. The cellular device receives the text message and provides the message to a pharmacy, together with a prescription script for a prescription drug of the prescription drug identity. The pharmacy communicates the script to a benefit processor. The benefit processor adjudicates an insured coverage claim related to the script and the patient per the script. The benefit processor communicates a result of the adjudication to the pharmacy. The pharmacy discounts pricing for the prescription to the patient by a discount per the discount coupon, if insurance coverage is not applicable to the prescription, and per the discount coupon and coverage benefit, if insurance coverage is applicable. The benefit processor communicates the prescription transaction to the discount service computer, and the eligibility database is updated accordingly. The discount service computer sends additional text messages to the cell phone regarding prescription refill discounts and other advertising. | 11-11-2010 |
