Disclosed are embodiments of a computer-based processing system that enables health care providers to sell and order health care products and services from third party vendors for their patients in accordance with federal and state laws. For example, a provider server may initiate an order of a product or may respond to a request from a patient. The processing system includes a rule-based system that preferably insures legal compliance in the areas of product selection, payment and delivery. The processing system may also determine which patient requests ought to be reviewed by the applicable health care provider and/or which requests ought to include a patient consultation. In various embodiments, upon review by the provider, the processing system orders the health care product/service from a third-party vendor. The product may then be provided directly to the patient from the vendor, through the provider, or the like.
