NETWORK-BASED MARKETPLACE SERVICE PRICING TOOL FOR FACILITATING PURCHASES OF BUNDLED SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating a purchase data record, selectively redeemable by a user to receive a pre-paid healthcare service, in response to receiving payment at a price based on the service location, and applying the pre-paid amount to the user's health insurance deductible. The payment may be a virtual funds or actual currency payment. The service may be specified based on physician, facility, location, and time, permitting price adjustment based on geographical cost variance. Some implementations may provide a marketplace system configured to permit creation, transfer, redemption, and exchange of virtual funds for pre-paid services and actual currency. The user may receive the prepaid service, based on redeeming the voucher. Various implementations may exchange healthcare bundles, including service and drugs, for a price discounted based on the bundle. A healthcare bundle may be presented in shopping cart format, permitting the user to pre-pay for a customized bundle.
An apparatus for pricing offers of healthcare services includes an application server providing a pricing tool, and a service pricing information database and a cost adjustment information database that are accessible by the application server. The pricing tool is operable to receive an indication of a healthcare service set that is respectively associated with a service detail information record included in the service pricing information database, determine a base physician fee for a primary service of the indicated healthcare service set based on base pricing metrics for the primary service included in the service detail information record, receive an indication specifying a location for performing the primary service, calculate an adjusted physician fee for the primary service based on cost adjustment metrics for a geographic zone that corresponds to the specified location, and provide a recommended price for the indicated healthcare service set based on the calculated adjusted physician fee. The machine learning server instructs the service offer database to store each healthcare service provider service corresponding to the user selection and displays the bundled set of service offers via the graphical user interface that matches the users' selection.
