Systems and methods for health care credit transactions

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer program media for creating, managing, backing, and transferring health care credits are described. Health care credits may be implemented as freely transferrable financial instruments whose initial value can be based on costs or savings generated by an individual, or by a health care provider, that are associated with a health-related metric or a health benefitting behavior(s).

主权项

1. A method, implemented using a computing system, for converting non-transferrable incentive points into freely transferrable health care credits, the method comprising:
receiving information specifying an amount of the non-transferrable incentive points awarded for a health-related behavior; determining, using the computing system, a value of the health-related behavior; calculating, using the computing system, an amount of the freely transferrable health care credits that is equivalent to the value of the health-related behavior; and converting, using the computing system, the non-transferrable incentive points into the amount of the freely transferrable health care credits that was calculated.
