Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for the identification of available payers for healthcare transactions. A reply to a healthcare claim transaction may be received from a claims processor computer. Based at least in part on the reply, a determination may be made that the healthcare claim transaction has been rejected for an eligibility reason. An available payer for a patient associated with the received reply may be identified subsequent to the determination. Information associated with the identified available payer may be communicated to a healthcare provider associated with the healthcare claim transaction.
