Abstract

Systems and methods for processing rejected healthcare claim transactions for over-the-counter (“OTC”) products are provided. A healthcare claim transaction associated with a product requested by a customer may be received from a healthcare provider computer. The healthcare claim transaction may be communicated to a claims processor for adjudication, and a denied claim response for the healthcare claim transaction may be received from the claims processor. Based at least in part upon a classification of the product, the denied claim response may be converted to an approved claim response, and the approved claim response may be communicated to the healthcare provider computer. In certain embodiments, the above operations may be performed by one or more computers associated with a service provider.
