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

摘要

Systems and methods may provide notifications of availability of generic drugs or products. The systems and methods may include receiving, from a healthcare provider computer, a healthcare claim transaction request that identifies a product for a patient; determining that the product identified by the healthcare claim transaction request is a non-generic product or a branded product; determining that a generic equivalent for the product identified by the healthcare claim transaction request will become available on a future date; generating a generic notification message indicating the availability of generic equivalent for the product on the future date; and delivering or directing a delivery of the generic notification message.
