Abstract
Systems and methods may be provided for pharmacy claims-based condition identification proxies. The systems and methods may include receiving, by a condition identification system, at least one pharmacy claim associated with a patient, where each pharmacy claim is associated with a medication previously filled by the patient, and identifying, by the condition identification system, the patient as a candidate for at least one chronic medical condition by analyzing the at least one pharmacy claim associated with the patient. The systems and methods may also include determining, by the condition identification system, a pharmacy home for the patient, and transmitting, by the condition identification system to a pharmacy computer associated with the pharmacy home, an identification of the patient that is the candidate for at least one chronic medical condition, where the patient is offered at least one service by the pharmacy home based upon the transmitted identification of the patient.
